Zebco really set the bar high with these reels! I have bought hundreds of spincast reels throughout the years for my kids and my wife. None that ever lasted more than a year if that. We now have 5 of these reels and I find that I use them as much as my spinning reels! They cast smooth and long, retrieve fast and easily. They are a little expensive but worth every penny. We have had 2 of them for 2 years now and still look and function as if brand new out of the box! Great job Zebco!

I have fished for over 50 years. I have an old zebco 606 from the 60s. It still functions as it should. I thought it was smooth until I got the Z03 in black with the 3.4to 1 ratio. This reel is so smooth if I was blindfolded I couldn't tell the difference between it and my most expensive bait caster. The only thing I wish it had is a bait alert. I know it's not a catfish reel but I have caught a 30lb cat with it. Super nice reel. I bought a couple more.

I have about 6 hours on my reel now and I like it. It's all metal body is real slick. It reels as smooth as silk, but. It seems to be harder to reel when you catch a big one. I love fishing for pan fish. I would catch smaller ones and reel them in so fast they would surf the way in. Then I caught a big 10 inch panfish and let me tell you it felt like a sea monster on the other side. Well maybe not that bad but it seemed a lot harder .Don't get wrong. I really like it. Like I said, super smooth. Just a little hard to reel with big ones.

This is the Best Spincast reel to date in my opinion. Its metal, quality made, smooth and I use Braid line on all three of them. My wife has caught a lot of fish with them and have had no issues. I do yearly maintenance on them as with all of our reels. refresh the grease and oil.

Pull the line out and toss it, put you favorite line back in. Mine is XL number 8. This is my favorite reel for pan fish. Never had a birds nest and I never will. Every year it comes apart and gets cleaned and greased with marine waterproof grease. Butter smooth.
