Zebco Omega Z02 Spincast Reel
Zebco's flagship spincast reel, the Omega Z02 will elevate your fishing trips with its pro-level performance. The light-size Omega Z02 includes such features as Auto Bait Alert, which makes a clicking sound when it's time to reel in your catch, and a Continuous Anti-Reverse function that immediately keeps the reel from unwinding when a fish is on the line. The reel's high 3.4:1 gear ratio is further improved by a triple-cam multi-disk drag system, which helps you land bigger fish prone to jerking rapidly. Other features include all-metal gears, aircraft aluminum covers, changeable right- or left-hand retrieve, an oscillating spool, a seven-bearing design, and a ceramic line guide. The Omega Z02 comes with a spare spool.About ZebcoWatchmaker, 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.
