JUNE 2012
 
RECORD HEAT AND A NEW RECORD PRICE   
 
WHO SAID THAT ZEBCO SPIN CAST REELS ARE FOR KIDS ONLY !!!???
 
Featured Reels:
Listed as a not correct Black Turned into all chrome never made Zebco spin cast model 33 E+WB with a buy-it-now price of $10,000.00
after reading the full description this was listed by our Zebco spin cast expert Dick Braun. it was listed to educate people on some of the diffrerent versions of the model 33's.
but I did hear thru the grape vine that he would accept a few bottles of FINE WINE in trade for his reel !!!
 
A new record is set for a Zebco spin cast reel. a Red Rhino NIB sold @ $402.00
this reel was one of 300 made on Feb. 2, 2001
they were the last reels made at their plant in Tulsa, OK.
you had to be at the plant that day to get one of these reels,
they each came with a certificate of authenticity with your name on it.
