Zebco Fishing RodsZebco fishing rods have been around as long as any of us can remember. As children it seemed every boy wanted a Zebco rod for Christmas or maybe a birthday gift. Next to the Red Ryder Wagon and the Daisy BB Gun, the Zebco rod and reel pushbutton model was top of many wish lists. The Zebco rod is as popular today as it was nearly 80 years ago.
In the year 1949, a gentleman by the name of Jasper Arndell Hall, who was a watchmaker by profession, showed his new sparkling fishing reel to the Zero Hour Bomb Company. What transpired on that blistery summer day would change the landscape of local fishing forever in the United States and Canada. This was the birth of the famous Zebco reel. The Zebco Co. 33, which set the standard, became so well-known it was named America’s Reel. America has had a fascination with the company ever since its creation and distribution of the wildly popular Zebco 33 reel. All a kid had to do was target any freshwater species, set the drag, and say goodbye to any worrisome and troublesome line tangles! This rod and reel revolutionized the fishing industry and created a cult-like following for both collectors and anglers throughout North America. Although the Zebco 33 was never in the high-dollar and high-precision rankings of such big names as St. Croix and G-Loomis, the combination of performance and quality for the average fisherman, made the Zebco a real nice combo package. An amazing fact about the Zebco 33 Spin Combo is that through the next few decades, the basic concept of Zebco fishing rods has remained unchanged. The price is a little more than it was almost a decade ago, yet the combo features, such as the 6 ‘ 2- piece, spinning reel combination, is still the same exceptional value and undeniable good time! The Zebco fishing rods of today are numerous and have many variations that sprung from the original’s Zebco 33 Rod. Zebco manufacturing company now has dozens of fantastic and highly affordable models of freshwater fishing rods to choose from. One of the best features that are also one of the main reasons for the success of that rod is the price. There is no better value for the money than a Zebco freshwater rod and reel combination. Although there are many other higher-priced and definitely more detailed freshwater rods out there, the Zebco freshwater rod has held its place as the grandfather of all the rods that followed this American icon. If you are looking for your first rod or the first rod for a child, you can’t go wrong with any of the Zebco fishing rod combinations on the market.
