I found an old Zebco reel that I have had for over 30 years in my tackle drawer. I cleaned it up and it looks pretty good. I caught a few fish using that reel over the years. A keep sake for sure. thumb

Zebco has been around for years! They have made some good lasting reels. My very first reel I have ever owned was a Zebco! cheers

Yep, I remember the Zebco 202 being my 1st reel as a kid. Retail $2.97 at Gibsons. The Zebco 33 was NICE in those days. Retail $9.97

I still have several worn out Zebco 202 reels from childhood. Caught a bunch of fish on those. Always thought I would rebuild them and use them with my nephews and grand-kids. I bought mine at Gibsons too along with bright yellow Fle-fly jigs made with pipe-cleaners, one of the first lures I ever used.

My dad's friend bought me a 202 at Treasure City in Haltom city in the 1960's, found it much later. I sent the thing off to get it cleaned etc... instead they sent me back a piece of [censored] Prostaff, I was upset I lost that reel to them, worst reel I ever had in my possession, gave it to a young kid.
