top fishing inventions of the past 75 years
.... my preferred reel is a Zebco 33. Seriously, I love everything about it. Yes my fishing arsenal has a couple Shakespeare rod/reel combo’s for walleye, bass, cat fishing and more serious angling. I’m also a proud owner of the Emrod. We’ll talk about that one another day.
More often than not when I’m casting it’s with a Zebco 33, and I can honestly say I’ve landed my share of fish credit Zebco and, more importantly, proof that fishing does not have to be about spending hundreds of dollars on rod/reel combos. There’s nothing wrong with choosing more specialized and technically engineered equipment, but putting a fish on the hook is my job.
Closed Face Spincast Reel (1949) made fishing easy and affordable to everyone regardless of age, size, gender and expertise.
Who would’ve thought the spring loaded bobber 60 years later would be considered a breakthrough? But as easily replaced by slip bobbers, you’ll be hard pressed to find a tackle box without one of these dinosaurs hiding in the bottom.
