Just got this in... Took it out last weekend for mostly blue gill and pumpkin seeds, holy crap you're right on how smooth this casts and retrieves... Threw on a couple of mid sized split sinkers just to see what kind of distance. And on my 6'6" ugly stik it casted a country mile... Really enjoyed this reel..... Another Zebco 33 that is worthy of some praise is the 33 Black... I've seems you can only get that reel in the combo but we have that as well, it has one less bearing. But in terms of feel and smoothness, it ranks right up there with the platinum. Thanks for the video
Hello Boswd, Yes, I think zibco outperformed themselves on this one.I've scene then bought another reel the one I originally had was for my wife and i liked it so much.I had to have one for myself. Thank you for your reply and comment. Keep watching.
I bought one of these a couple years ago to replace the one that came with the rod I bought (same reel). Both got tangled up inside and trashed after not that much use! Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Hello, We've never had that problem with the new Zebco reels. It could be the way you're spoiling line on the. reel. That could have a lot to do with it because it could be twisting line as it goes on the real. You might try just spooling the line on it a different way. And sometimes, if you're not using a swivel at the end of the line, that could also do it Thanks for watching and commenting.

I concur, great reels!
They seem to have come a long way with their reels.
I have a very similar reel
Got that on for my wife, and it works great. Thanks for watching David and for your comment
