## Description

Product Description          This Combo features a 6' 2-Pc. medium Z-Glass rod and the classic Zebco 33 spincast reel that's a favorite with rookies and seasoned anglers! Ball bearing drive system for smooth reeling; Right or left retrieve; Front adjustable drag control; Selective anti-reverse for confident hooksets; Medium action.             .com          More than 50 years ago, a spincast legend was born: the Zebco 33. In the ensuing years, the Zebco 33 has become the most popular fishing reel in the world. A favorite of rookies and seasoned anglers alike, the Zebco 33 spincast fishing rod and reel combo continues the tradition with such features as all-metal gears, stainless-steel covers, a ball-bearing drive system, and dual-line pickup pins. The Zebco 33 also includes an Auto Bait Alert function that makes a clicking sound when it's time to reel in your catch. The combo kit further improves your fishing experience with its 6-foot medium-action rod made using two-piece Z-Glass construction. Other features include right- or left-hand retrieve, a front adjustable drag control, and selective anti-reverse. Pre-spooled with 10-pound Cajun line, the combo kit carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty. About Zebco Watchmaker, barber, and inventor R.D. Hull founded Zebco in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1949, in conjunction with the Zero Hour Bomb Company. The latter company, which manufactured electric time bombs designed to fracture oil wells, was looking to expand beyond its initial product and its expiring patent. Zebco's maiden reel was called the Standard, and was soon to be joined by the Model 22 in 1953. The Model 11 and Model 33 followed, helping popularize the notion of landing larger fish with lighter tackle. Dozens of products and patents later, Zebco still pays tribute to the legacy of R.D. Hull with every rod and reel the company produces. The W.C. Bradley Company purchased Zebco in 2001, but the company headquarters remains in Tulsa.

    Understand what you are buying and you will be happy
  

*by L***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2012*

What I have found interesting are people who are saying that this product is not very good. I think the first thing to understand is that this is a 20 buck setup....so let's be real. You are not buying a hundred dollar reel and 100 buck pole. So don't expect it to be a high end unit. Second, from what I understand, is that this is not the same as the Zebco 33 from 25-50 years ago, it's a much lower cost item in terms of product quality. Does this make it a "bad"? No, it just means it is a low end unit. Third....not to be mean, but this is coming off an assembly line, and the pole you get may not be set up quite right, so take some time to adjust it as necessary. I noticed a few things from messing around with it and fishing with it now for the past month while using it almost every night fishing in the ocean. If you notice that it's snagging, or that the button is not working quite right, etc. ..... most of the time that seems to be the adjustment of the spring. You *can* fix this fairly easily by taking the cap off, and spinning the lock on top around 1 thread or 2 until it behaves correctly. Unfortunately, I can understand the frustration since it doesn't come with disassembly instructions, so unless you look around on the Internet, you won't know this.Now, for my review: I received mine and it was perfect out of the box. I've thrown with it for about 2-3 hours every night for the last 30 days. If you have the spring correct, it won't tangle. I must have thrown 1000 lines out now with it and it's great. The obvious thing when using it versus a higher end reel is that it is not as smooth, but for light tackle and the smaller fish you tend to use this for, it is fine. Very flexible, throws great. I would advise cleaning it with fresh water after every use to keep junk off of it (in my case there is a lot of salt that dries on the line (I think), and washing it each night has made it behave very well. The gears inside probably could use some oiling every once in a while. I have two kids using it as well (11 and 9), and they also have had no problems with it. I'm using the Cajun Red Line that comes with it, and it works fine, although I would advise you be careful with this line as it seems to be quite slippery, and use a good knot to hold your hook (no granny knots).

    Good Low-Cost Rod/Reel Combo
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2012*

Bought a couple of these and used them over the past summer for Channel Cats and Largemouth Bass.  They come spooled with 10lb red Cajun monofilament line, which I had never tried but which worked fine (surprisingly thin and strong).  The reels have nice features -- decent drag, clicking bait-alert setting, reasonable retrieve speed, and the component quality seems good.  Overall, a great value for an all-around rod/reel combo.One problem I've experienced while doing a lot of repetitive casting -- the rear reel cover (that holds the casting thumb-button) had a tendency to twist a bit and after several casts would work itself loose and come off.  Had to get in the habit of checking it right before casting.  Make no mistake, this is not the rod/reel to use for precision casting and/or a lot of cranking.Others have reported miss-spooling and tangling.  I avoid that by resting my left hand on the rod about 6-8 inches in front of the reel, letting the line go between my thumb and forefinger as it is retrieved.  Learned to do this as a kid, and it keeps junk out of the reel, as well as keeping the retrieved line always under a bit of tension, which helps prevent miss-spooling and tangling.If you're looking for a good all-around rod/reel combo, it's hard to beat the Zebco 33 at this price.

    Design flaw? Not good luck with these so far.
  

*by T***7 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2011*

I am by no means a pro, but I have been fishing on and off since I was a child (25+ years). I bought Zebco brand because that's what my dad and I would always use when I was younger and never had any problems with them. In fact, I still use one of their old spinning rods/reels to this day (NEVER any problems with it). I'm not sure if quality has gone downhill with this company or if they just had a bad "batch". I see other reviewers on here experienced similar issues as me though.I purchased 2 of these poles and logged about 1 weekends worth of fishing on each before they broke. Both had the EXACT same problem where all of a sudden they would just stop reeling in. I would cast it out, get it reeled back in part way, and then it just spins freely but doesn't retrieve the line. After popping off the cap I noticed that BOTH of them were getting the line spun just above the spooling area, where some sort of spring mechanism for the button is located. Once this happened, the reel would spin and spin without retrieving, but you also could not pull any line out either as it was now jammed all inside the button/spring mechanism.I did manage to finally take all the string off and cut as much of the line out of the spring mechanism area as I could with an exacto knife. I restrung the reel with some Berkley line, but it just never felt the same. It felt as though it was on full drag and didn't cast as well as it previously did.I think I will try returning this to Zebco to fix rather than Amazon, as if it is actually just a bad batch, I will likely just end up with another bad replacement. I have not completely given up on Zebco just yet, but if Zebco repairs or replaces this reel with another that has the same issues, I'll take my business elsewhere.
