Zebco Spongebob Floating Fishing Rod and Reel Combo
Zebco's SpongeBob SquarePants fishing rod and reel combo is specially designed for little hands, making it a great way to introduce your little one to the fun of fishing. The combo is equipped with a 30-inch, light-action, one-piece rod pre-spooled with 6-pound line, along with a floating flatboard. Together, the rod and flatboard let kids know immediately when they've hooked a fish. Other features include kid-proof line guides, adjustable drag, and a jellyfish-shaped casting plug for practicing.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.
