"That carp was caught on a little 5'6" (Bronson) rod with the Zebco 202 Grandpa gave me! It was the first reel I mounted on a pole; I remember thinking what a huge improvement it was over the reel that came with the rod.
That rod, now sporting a Zebco 33 Legacy, is currently my daughter's favorite. She gets some "reely" good casts out of it."
Theo, my update was to a Zebco 33 I got for Christmas when I was 11 or 12. Still have it and it still works!
