Zebco Sea Dog SDSP50/702MH SALTWATER Fishing Rod and Reel Combo
Specially designed for blue-water battles, the Zebco Sea Dog pairs a 50-size spinning reel with a 7-foot, medium-heavy, two-piece rod, giving you the tools you need to fish in rough water. The reel is pre-spooled with 12-pound line, and includes a ball-bearing drive for easy casting. Built with popular pier and dock actions, the Sea Dog is also saltwater tough, so you can use it pretty much anywhere.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.
