That's awesome! Thankfully, I still have my Dad's fishing reel. Priceless.

Very good video. Now to clean the one I bought as a kid in 1976 and take it fishing again.

Thank you. I think I have as much fun restoring them as I do fishing them. There's something therapeutic about bringing these old work-horses back to life!

The reel that started me fishing-hundreds of mackeral 1968 still fishing it once in a while. 2nd pinion gear,some how fixed it myself,I was about 12 years old at the time. Part was 5 cents at new england bait and tackle

Have you seen the 4 notch line pick up 202, the first ones come out

I have some of the 4 notch, think they r 61

I have some made n 61

Hi - I'm trying to get a Zebco 202 like this one which I bought for my kids fixed up for my Grandson Harry. I've got it apart now all over my computer desk; should I put some new line on it too ? Thanks

Yes, i"d definitely put new line on it. One never knows how long old line has been on them. It gets brittle over time. They came from the factory with 10 lb test, but if it were me, I'd fill it with 8 lb. Great reels to give to kids!

How do u put cord in it?

There is a correct way to tie the line onto the spool and make sure the line comes off the line spool in the right direction. It's hard to explain the knot via text. There are some great KZread videos that you can search that explain it well. Here's a couple that should be helpful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKFqtrWPaJiuZLQ.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKervMmneb2yp8Y.html

You know the first 202 come out with 4 notch line pick up
