That's gotta be worth some big $ to a collector. I still fish with a couple 33's. They are great for panfishing with light baits but the retrieve ratio is really slow.


A quick eBay search shows used ones going for $25-$105.

Zebcos are great for bedded crappie. The slow gear ratio crawls a very small bait perfectly at the right speed, which is SLOW. Can’t give away all my secrets though.

I have this Zebco Spinner Model 33 in my collection. Believe it dates to late 50's; works like new.

My grandfather claims to have purchased the first zebco 33 in Baldwin county in the mid 50’s. He said his buddies laughed at him until they saw how it worked.

Still have mine my Grandpa got me as my 1rst reel . It was also the 1rst reel he bought my son . They to me are the perfect beginner reel for ponds and creeks . Makes me want to put some new line on mine and give the Baitcaster a rest one day soon . By the way I still have 3 of my Grandpas 33's and to Omega Ones . He was a Zebco man . Prize possessions !

Had a good evening before the storms got too close. Got the Zebco cleaned up. Took it to the Mary Carters Paint Store in Cullman and they replaced a couple parts, lubed it, and put line on for $5. Same Mary Carters from the Hank Jr. song (I’ve got Rights). Anyways, Hayden caught the first fish on the combo in 25 years. I got one too. Good times!
