Well Before I Got Into The Fishing Sites Years Back I To Also Used The ZEBCO, But It Was The3 Zebco 33 That Was My Weapon Of Choice. But Since I Started To Run The Web Sites, I Learned A Few Things And Got Myself Set Up With A PENN 209 And Haven't Went Back To The Zebco Since For Fishing The Big Fish. I Do Use Them Yet Though The Zebco's That Is But I Use Them For Fishing Pan-Fish And Pike, Walleye And So On They Are Good Reels. There Now You Know The Truth Of My Arsenal When I Go Fishing, P.S. Anyone Looking For A Rebuilt PENN Reel Just Give Me A Shout.

Abu Garcia 5000 for me.I use em for every kind of fishing,yes including the BASS.

I have Penn 9's and 209's, Zebco's, Abu, and use all of them, whatever you like to use and gets the job done is the best. Penn's are power horses, Zebco's are probaly the easist to use. I've been using a couple of Zebco's in the river lately and a Rhino due to we don't have big cats where we fish around here. I want to go to a lake about 60 miles away that they are catching 35/40lb blues, then I will have my 209's on that venture or anywhere they have biguns at.

Okuma Avenger for the quality and price.

Diawa Black and Gold series.

The real question is,long as it works does it really matter?

well, penn, abu garica, quatum for me...

Mostly Mitchell 300s and Zebco 33s for me. Got an abu 6500 and a Penn 320 I use on occasion when I'm after the big boys.
