Having turned 70, and my eyes turning somewhere in the neighborhood of 183, I opted for the Bullet for my second rig this year. Old eyes just do not pick out the backlashes like they used to. When you get to 70, you realize your time on the water isn't gonna be forever, so anything I can do to stay fishing and not screwing around with the occasional backlash is for the best. I have to admit being somewhat of a tackle snob, it really rubbed me wrong when I stood in line in checkout to buy a spincast reel. I almost put it back and I'm glad I didn't. This not only bombs those long casts, ( I almost unspooled it twice) it even skips and pitches extremely well. For now, I am keeping the 10lb mono, but as soon as I can make sure I know how, I'll respool with 12lb flouro. Oh, and I should have led with this. Thanks for your service brother.

51 years old and all I like to use is spincaster closed face reels. The Zebco bullet is on my wish list. I use a 33 classic and a Shakespeare titanium. I have no issues what so ever. I can control my targets throws like an ace pitcher. The Bullet is the Mecca and I hope to get one soon. Thanks for the demo. To anyone watching. There is no shame in conventional reels. Fishing is fishing. I've used 5 dollar reels and had fun and success.

Nice video, I have two Zebco 33, one from mid to late 1970s that still works like new and a later model from around 2013. I'm right-handed and cast right-handed and never could figure out way spinning reels have the handle on the left side but spin-cast, older ones, have the handle on the right side. So, I got the newer 33 and moved the handle to the left side. It makes all the difference in the world for casting and retrieving. I also use the old type casting rod with the offset handle are for the reel. That too makes a big difference in balance.

My wife and I have several of these, and love them. The oldest are around 4 years old. Retired here, and go fishing several times/week. I like the long smooth casts, especially one-handed casting. Fast retrieve is great for buzz baits, rattle traps, etc. We run pro-braid on 1/2 of our and they handle braid fine. After many thousands of casts, they're still working nicely.

I LOVE spincast reels. I learned to use a baitcaster and then realized a baitcaster just can't hold a light to a good spincaster. I have a Pfluger, zebco and Abu Garcia Red one and about 15 more. Micro ones and regular ones. With a spincast you have the BEST of all worlds in one reel. You can throw a micro bait, drop shot and a heavy lure all on the same reel with the same line. 40 yard +++ cast are normal, skipping is an ease, going into the trees push the button for a dead stop. Never waste your money on a baitcaster. 25 years with NOTHING but baitcasters. Spend more time fishing and less time with wind knots and backlashes.

My Buttet has a groove in the spiner head , had my bullet 4 years now lots of casts ,.....spincast reels have there problems like all the others.

First and most importantly...thank you for sacrificing a significant period of your life to serve your country. We both wear the same wristband. Retired E7, US Army My 11 year old grandson got tired of my fishing stories and decided he wanted to tell a few of his own. I have several rigs set up for specific purposes, but none I would want him to try...knowing the impetuous nature of youth, his first backlash, and it's back to the Xbox. I went to Cabela's and inwardly grimaced at the thought of buying a spincast reel. At first I thought the salesman was blowing smoke up my tailpipe, trying to sell me a 100.00 spincast reel. He took me to the casting area and let me try a number of worms, crankbaits and jerkbaits. color me impressed. So impressed that I bought one for myself to slide onto an old 7' uglystick as a Roland Martin "follow-up" rig. I fished with Roland in 1977 and he taught me to keep a second rig with a Sinko ready. Chances are that missed fish is still in the vicinity for the next few seconds and offering a sinko will produce a strike 7 out of 10 times. As well, I've struggled to learn how to skip a worm or lure under stuff. Second attempt with the Bullet and bullseye. Oh and you are right on rod choice. I coupled that Bullet with a heavy 7' for my Bullet and it works extremely well. So yeah, it's worth every penny and if an old snob baitcast fisherman can swallow his pride and admit there is a spincast worth using, so can others.

I’ve seen the bullet before, I didn’t know what to make of it. Also I want to see more Rush tackle boxes to see if they stay solid!

I have been fishing bullets for 2 years now and they are beasts!!!! I can burn with it, crank, jig, you name it. The only thing I can say negative about it is that it retrieves too fast for late winter ice out fishing when the fish are sluggish. I paired my one with a BP Johnny Morris 2.0 medium 6'6" rod and its my do all rig. I've caught Walleye, Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, and Channel Cat with this rig and it will work for them all. I have yet to have any technical issues with this reel and I'm still using the line from 2 years ago in it (switching to 10lb or 12lb Trilene XL soon). Yeah, a hundred bucks is stiff for a spincast but I suck with baitcaster and spinners so its a spincast or spend my time untangling birds nests. With that Johnny pole I can drop my bait where I want to regardless of weight and yes you can toss this sucker a mile with a 1/2 oz or more bait!!!! If I could I'd give it 6 stars!!!!

I've got a Zebco 33 that I've had since I was 8, I'm now 22, and it's still going strong. I've thrown everything from 1/16 ounce spoons for trout up to pitching 1/2 ounce jigs in the pads for bass. It's actually the reel I caught my pb largemouth with (5.5 pounds). I just got one of the new 33s with the faster gear ratio and have it on a 7' medium fast action.

The problem with the more expensive zebcos is the you can't backreel with them. Four times the price of a regular zebco, and less features.

@@ShieldOutdoors Ok, what you do is set the drag as tight as it goes. Then you flip the bait click, ( that's what it's called on a zebco 33 and not the classic, as thatcreel has continuos anti reverse so you ha e to use the drag. ) You know you have it right when you pull out line from the reel and the handle spins. Because the drag is tight the line comes out freely when the fish runs and you pressure the fish with the root instead of the reel. This tires the fish faster also. When you have drag set all the way high you don't have to worry if it's set at the perfect setting, you don't have to adjust it mid fight, and your reel essentially becomes a winch. The editors at fishing facts magazine also endorse this method. It's old school for sure, but you never had so much fun until you try this.

LOL im sorry :(

I bought my wife a 50 dollar zebco. She had a 20 dollar combo that she bought before. I was spending more money keeping that cheap one spooled cause it would eat the line up just casting it. So a 100 dollar push button would be worth it.

I barely keep up with the other social media now, it didnt seem to do me anything

Dropped it once, it bent something inside and stopped spinning smoothly.

Hey! Just getting into fishing and watching your subscription box reviews. Hoping for the giveaway!

@@ShieldOutdoors they are supposed to be coming out with a bullet mg at 1/3 the weight. I like you was pursuing something easier for new fishermen to use. When a person is use to low profile light bait casters that you can wrap your hand around, hard to go back to Neanderthal times!🤪

I always thought button reels were junk and for kids. I bought my kids a few and wow they take a beating and just keep working, and im talking a 5 year old beating the hell out of it, towing it spearing it and dragging it in mud. after having to cast them for my kids I learned to really enjoy how simple they are and I find myself grabbing them and putting down my 500 dollar combos. Especially when im tossing some weird baits. Lol.

That's because the spibcasts you used were the cheaper 33 or diawas etc. The bullet and zebco Z03 OMEGA PRO is a big league extremely advanced reel with 7 ball bearings and all metal gears, unlike all the other cheap crap out there. I have landed 30lb carp....15lb lake trout....12lb steelhead......10lb walleye.....6lb largemouth with my bullet and OMEGA x03 pro reels with zero issues! That's why they cost so damn much. Worth every penny, and you will NEVER BACKLASH!
