  • Built-in Hook Keeper for storing lure
  • Pre-spooled with 10-pound Cajun line
  • 3-bearing drive system; 3.3:1 power gear ratio
More than 50 years ago, a spincast legend was born: the Zebco 33. In the ensuing years, the Zebco 33 has become the most popular fishing reel in the world. Simple and easy to use, this Zebco 33T Gold series reel continues the tradition, with such high-quality features as an easy-to-use Triggerspin casting trigger, all-metal gears, a three-bearing drive system, and dual-line pickup pins. The Zebco 33T Gold also offers a couple of bonus essentials: an Auto Bait Alert function, which makes a clicking sound when it's time to reel in your catch, and a built-in Hook Keeper that gives you a handy place to store your fishing lure after a long day. Other features include stainless-steel covers, a changeable right- or left-hand retrieve, and a 3.3:1 gear ratio. Pre-spooled with 10-pound Cajun line, the Zebco 33T Gold carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

About Zebco
Watchmaker, barber, and inventor R.D. Hull founded Zebco in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1949, in conjunction with the Zero Hour Bomb Company. The latter company, which manufactured electric time bombs designed to fracture oil wells, was looking to expand beyond its initial product and its expiring patent. Zebco's maiden reel was called the Standard, and was soon to be joined by the Model 22 in 1953. The Model 11 and Model 33 followed, helping popularize the notion of landing larger fish with lighter tackle. Dozens of products and patents later, Zebco still pays tribute to the legacy of R.D. Hull with every rod and reel the company produces. The W.C. Bradley Company purchased Zebco in 2001, but the company headquarters remains in Tulsa. Over 50 years ago, a spincast legend was born, the Zebco 33. Since then, it has grown to become the most popular fishing reel in the world. Simple and easy to use, dependable and a true performer… and so is its little brother the Zebco 22, and the baby of the family the Zebco 11. If anything could improve on the Authentic series, it is the Gold series, featuring three bearings and a Continuous Anti-Reverse clutch for added performance.

About Abu Garcia
Originally a watch factory, Abu Garcia was founded in Svangsta, Sweden, near the Morrum River in 1921. Founder Carl August Borgstrom was a clever craftsman with a talent for light precision engineering. The company originally manufactured pocket watches, telephone timers, and taxi meters until World War II, when the demand for taxi meters sharply declined. Undaunted, Abu Garcia redirected its skills toward the development of precision fishing reels, eventually receiving the honor of being chosen "Purveyor to the Royal Swedish Court"--a distinction bestowed upon a select group of manufacturers who consistently exceeded the court's high standards of quality and craftsmanship. Abu Garcia remains firmly committed to maintaining its industry leadership position by providing anglers everywhere with the highest-quality, most-innovative products. Cardinal 300i Reel
