I paired a Zebco Z03 omega pro with a Abu Garcia Volatile 7 ft Medium fast rod. Holy dang. The Z03 slings the hell out of a bait. Dang accurate too. I'm quite impressed with this reel. She has the black Z03 Pro coming for her birthday so she should be stoked with that one too.

The rod is about what I expect out of the Abu rods. Sensitive and strong. Any of yall tried out the z03 yet?

_{I bought a Z03 from a member here for a neighbor's kid. He loves it, casts it darn well. Rock solid too}

I was gonna buy that reel for my gf. But I took a chance and handed her a baitcaster and she picked up using casters pretty good. Those zo3s have an oscillating spool That's what I liked about them.

i wrote off Zebco due to bad experiences, never tried that model though.

I took up stripe fishing for a year or two. I felt like stopping by and gracing all the non "everything elsers" with my prescence.

Long Mike and Glenn let me wander around the other forums about once or twice a year. Otherwise they keep me locked down there. I just happened to tunnel my way out this time.

She enjoyed the hell out of it today. I was extremely impressed with it as well.

Doesn't the light hurt your eyes?

 

 

 

Bought the Z03 Pro for my daughter's boyfriend.  He only uses spincast reels.  He seems very pleased with it, but too darn cold around here yet to be out fishing.

Yes. Yes it does. Sunglasses don't shield enough so I'm having to wear a welding hood.

Raider, when I saw you here, I thought I was on the wrong forum.

I thought the same. I thought maybe she was experimenting with something new off the value menu

I'm getting back into catching green fish again. My girlfriend is insatiable when it comes to fishing. So I'm back to viewing the other forums. So many newer members that ain't got to experience all my crazy self has to offer....

At first I thought this thread title was "Bought New Girlfriend a Condo" and we needed an intervention.
