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 !
