Were they using 33's or the Omega? The Omega is light years ahead of the standard Zebco 33 in quality and overall performance.
I believe that Bill identified them as 33's. He said that he kept them in his truck for the grandkids. His guest was a Zebco rep if I recall correctly.
Anyway they were having a blast! They pulled in a couple of pretty nice fish.
Years ago I put away the spincast and started using baitcasters. The only spincast that I own now is an UL Daiwa.
The show just brought back fond memories of fishing with my dad, my uncle, and my son when he was young.
I may just have to pick up a new spincast of some sort now that I am trying to get back into fishing.
