Went back to my old Zebco 33 today that I had passed down to my son to do some fishing. I got tired of dealing with backlashes and wind knots in my baitcasters and spinning reels. I grew up on the 33s and it was a nice change of pace…no worries about performance, excellent casting distance/accuracy, and more fishing time instead of untangling knots. It is like the Glock 19 of the fishing world….not the prettiest, it’s functional, affordable, gets the job done well, and can outperform many of the “gucci” overpriced setups. Makes me want to get a Platinum version now! Anyone else feel the same?
