I sure did early-mid 80s. This thread needs more traffic for the hoarders-non dump filler uppers such as myself. Not an actual hoarder but there's not much I can't seem to find a use for

I WONDER HOW MANY OF US CLOSE TO MY AGE, 70'S, STARTED FISHING WITH A ZEBCO? A GREAT STARTING ROD/REEL BACK IN THE DAY.

Prepaid cards with small hard to use small balances remaining…….

Use them to buy an Amazon gift card with what’s left on them and zero them out. Next Amazon purchase use the gift card amount and then your regular payment method for the rest.

I purchased my first Zebco 33 in 1968 and I was in business man. I loved that reel.

I bought a box of about 30 used Zebco reels at a garage sale for 10 bucks and rigged some up for the grandkids. They are tangle free and more kid friendly than anything on the market. The grandkids love them.
