    Out of the blue my sister called me and ask me what a another name for a crappie and with out think I said a newlight,she said that the one and hung up.Now growing up dad away-ed called them a newlight,but what made me think of that after 45 to 50 years ago I have no ideal. But man It brought back a lot of memories of the time we went fishing together. It's hard to believe what a 4' rod and a 202 zebgo reel for my 5th birthday what lead to.

    I don't have any of the 202's left but I still have the yellow solid fiber glass rods. I remember buying 202's at Mr. Wiggs for 99 cents. That was a long time ago.

    Zebco

    My buddies grand father passed away and he was a fisherman my buddy wasn't so he offered me all his old gear.
    This stuff is in great shape. There is a ZEBCO reel, looks all stainless . I started reading the packaging
    ZEBCO is an acronym for The Zero Hour Bomb Company .
    I still have two of my old 202 reels form the 60s still used by kids in my pond. They are indestructible.
