New member from Southeast Ohio

Post by catfishin_welder »

Hello all,
Glad to be here. I've been a lifelong angler and used to collect old rods,reels,and tackle. I sold off all my collection back in the 80s, all but the zebcos that is they're my sentimental sweet spot. I've got roughly 30ish spincast models from zero hour up through mid 80s. I patented a boat anchor and designed 2 catfishing rods. I've owned NeverSnag Anchors &CatMaster Rod company since 2007 and I've been a competitive catfish tournament angler on the national trail or over 30 years now. I've pretty much gotten out of the tournament scene and looking to rekindle my Zebco love and make some new zebco enthusiast friends. I collected before the onset of the internet, and I'm sure it's a great place to locate reels. Parts and people!! Again, very glad to be here!!

Welcome! Zebco got an awful lot of youngsters interested in a lifetime of fishing, that's for sure!
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
