Thanks! I got a couple old 33’s of my grandfathers I used when I was a kid. Now they’ve got smooth action and are ready for my boys to use.

Your videos remind me of my great uncle as a kid. He was my only father figure for a long time. Nothing beats those memories! Thanks for the videos, friend.

This is a beautiful video for gearheads like myself. I just ordered 20+ vintage fishing reels to "revive", mostly GDR (German Democratic Republic) stuff from before the '90ies, and a Shakespeare 2152 to re-enter service as a serious catfish reel.

Thank you. It was a real struggle to restring my Zebco 606 spin cast. Your tutorial made it easier. Happy fishing.

My Wife and I are now retired and enjoy the relaxing environment that comes with no longer a "9 to 5" lifestyle. On most Saturdays, we like to go out and search for Garage Sales. We have always found many treasures. Over the past 3 years I have been buying, mostly Zebco 33 reels, for less than $5.00 each. I have bought many for $1.00. I would say I've bought maybe 12 of these reels over the past 3 years. About half of them were "Frozen" due to lack of maintenance. I bought them all and gave each one a very good cleaning and lubrication just like in your video. Everyone of them now works fine. I have sold about 5 of them. It is a real easy way to turn $1.00 into $15.00. Again, thank you for your video!!!!

I just cleaned and lubed my Zebco Roam thanks to your video. Thanks for the help!

Appreciate it! Taking my father in law fishing for his first time ever (I’m 26 and he’s 50). Fished my whole life and he wants to join to help form a bond and see what he’s been missing out on his whole life! Got my 33 running like a well oiled machine now, thanks!

I fixed my microcast zebco 11 in just a few minutes after watching this video... thanks!!!!

Hello Matthew,

Thanks for the tutorial. I am currently working on an old 33 that was corroded from salt water.

Great job .I have one myself . fantastic reel .I'm a 33 man myself .thanks

Great Video I just took an old Zepco Red Rhino out and respooled it to realize the drag is not working. Now I remember why I took it out of commission.

Thank you. This video was very helpful. I screwed up at the end, so I am missing a washer. But it still works!

Good to see some love to a zebco

beautiful work!

Love the old Zeppo 33 !!!

Thanks! I just rebuilt mine and it’s like new!
