Can anyone tell me what year ZEBCO made or sold the model 802 can't seem to find any info?

Clinton Beeler is the Zebco heir, but hasn't posted on the forum in a couple of years.

It's been a few months for Dick Braun, and he's your next-best bet

Thanks Ron and Tom. I looked through the catalogs in our library but they jump from 71 to 90 . Zebco sure made a lot of reels that I am unfamiliar with. As kids we always had the 202, 404, 606, 33, and now I have a few 909's but this is the first 802 I have ran across. I don't collect Zebco, but was just working thru a bundle of rod and reels I bought at an estate sale to get a Mitchell 309 that was in the lot. Yes, I'm a Lefty!!!

Thanks Again
Bummy
