Zebco 33 Cork Reel and Fishing Rod Combo, Graphite Rod with Cork Handle, QuickSet Anti-Reverse Fishing Reel with Bite Alert, Black

The zebco 33 is one of the longest manufactured products for fishing that there is. It is ready to go fishing right out of the packaging. Highly recommend this rod and reel!!!

Arrived on time and as described .The push button in the reel broke within the first two weeks replaced by seller without question .Rod and reel was purchased for my grandson and is a perfect introductory rod/reel. Lightweight

...I have been using the top half of these rods as a cheap option to re-tip my UL casting rod when its top half breaks, but, recently just put my Zebco spincasting ZD2 reel on the complete rod itself and went trout fishing at the local pond to check it out before letting my young Grand Nephew use it... Caught 16 trout on it and lost some , so, it was a decent test of it.... Biggest test will be when I latch into a big fish, but, looks like I'm going to save a lot of money, getting these rods instead of the pricier ones I have been re-tipping...

Worth the money

I’m a fishing nut. I’ve been fishing for 50+ years and own 100+ rod/reel combos. I wanted something short and light specifically for kayak fishing. It’s perfect. Wish I bought two! :)

I bought this rod and reel as a birthday gift for my six year old son, because he wanted a “big boy” fishing rod to replace his little kiddy combo. I’ve had good luck with the Zebco 33 spincasting reels in the past, so I thought I was getting a quality product. The rod itself was fine, but the reel was total garbage. The drag did not work at all out of the package, and even catching a small bluegill with a pull drag. My son had to clamp the line to the pole and basically pole the fish in by hand. I had already thrown away the packaging before we discovered this when we took it out for his first fishing trip. I tried to take the reel apart and figure out how to fix it, but it’s so poorly constructed that the parts just fell out and broke. Ive repaired and rebuilt all kinds of reels before and never encountered one that’s so cheaply made. In my attempt to fix the drag, one of the plastic parts that held the reel together cracked. It was such a frustration that I just threw the stupid thing in the trash. I’ll repurpose the rod for an ultralight spinning setup for myself, but I ended up having to buy another new combo for my son. I can’t believe Zebco puts their name on this garbage. Again, I like the full size Zebco 33’s. But this particular micro 33 reel with the trigger is very poor quality.

Caught a 15lbish striper with the line it came with.

I’ve had this setup in the past and loved it. The problem is screw that holds the crank falls out when you’re not paying attention. I ordered two combos the same day from Amazon. They shipped separately. The first one showed up in a box big enough to ship a 60 inch tv. The rod tip was sticking out of the box. The was no padding/bubble wrap in the box. The reel was missing the crank and screw. Great job Amazon👍🏼. I’m not gonna knock the product, just the person who packed it.

I bought this for a lighter setup for brook trout and panfish after years of just fishing fly. I have had it on the water 4 times so far, no issues. Today I was into a good spot for pumpkinseed and sunfish, the combo worked very well for them. To my surprise a 14" smallmouth hit, it gave the rod a workout but I was able to net the bass (not what I would have used if I suspected that fish but the combo held up). Will be thinking about another setup as my wife fishes as well.
