More than likely an early Slingshot, but better photo angles with added details would help a lot in identifying.

I’ve fished most of my life but I am very new to the vintage world so I do apologize if i’m a bit slow and ask a lot of obvious questions lol but what do you mean by better photos & added details. Like a photo of the whole combo together and maybe an actual length of rod?

The entire reel (all sides & angles including front & back) from a little farther back, the entire handle & knob, all portions of the spool, etc., and the grip & a couple of eyes on the rod.

Here is some more photos I hope these are good there is quite a few. I also took a few photos of it next to an actual Slingshot if that helps. Thank you again for all your help Midway Tommy D.

Your subject title is exactly what it is/was called. :D Simply Zebco Spinning Combo. It came with bobbers, tackle, etc. I still think it is an early or pre Slingshot.

Thanks for the better photos. :cool
