Great reel. Button is the weak spot. Broke 2 of these recently

That a nice detector I like mine I have the q 10

My Father died recently and I found one of these in the garage when I was dealing with his estate. Hadn't a clue how to use it. I've restored and got it working after finding your video, so I can keep it as a memento of him. Thank you, as I couldn't have done it without you.

Hi. Thanks for this video! I found one of these reels cheap at a yard sale. Everything worked except the drag, so I figured I could fix it. Well, the oscillator plate (the plastic part) was cracked in multiple places. I found that the current model Goldcast III GC 80 uses the same part. (I think it was like $12, plus shipping). In fact, they are much the same reel, except the newer model has a graphite body and an extra ball bearing. There are only maybe three or four parts inside that are different, so you can still get almost all the parts to fix the old model from Daiwa. So, now my reel works great!

Where did you get that stove stand 😮

808 and slingshot btw

You do not need 2 lighters and 2 knives. You should be packing a Leatherman on your belt also

Finally a you tube fisherman that uses the same gear as I do. I'm the same way, I see a pistol grip rod and I buy them!! I use the same kind of reels too! Great video! Thank you!

That's a torch 😃

interesting. Thanks!

Beautiful fox and your video friend. I enjoyed watching it.

they sure must have had BIG pockets back in the 40s

Just started looking at metal detectors, still looking, thanks for the info.

Hello. I have one and it works great, but I had to shelve it. When the temperature changes, the fuel will leak out of the orifice making a big hazardous mess. I don't have the funnel/cork thing that came with it that goes in the coil. Does the cork you use prevent it from leaking out? I'm wondering if I should go with natural cork, or a rubber one as my hardware sells both. Thank you!

That’s a great machine, however, not to sound insulting, but I have a 2024 sportsman 1000 Hunt edition …that is an absolute beast!! I love it❤

On the Yellow stove the brass fitting where the key is stored can be removed for easier filling of alcohol, also the fold out leg on the opposite side can be used as a handle to hold the stove with that opening downward and can help get rid of any remaining fluids or cleaning solvents by swinging this stove and using centrifugal force, similar to swinging a bucket of water with a hole at the bottom

Is there a special way to add the alcohol into that small opening?

great bike, some people say Polaris has reliability issues but I have a 2005 & 2012 Sportsman 800's and they run like new - just keep up on the maintenance - oil and fluid changes. nice area - beautiful scenery.

I just got one on ebay for 25 bucks. That knife is old. 60s or 70s. You got one thats collectible too, no blade stamps other than kabar

Zepco is great but the rubbery button feels strange. This one seems better designed.

looks like a very nice blade for fishing.

Thank you.

Awesome video! A client of mine just gave me this exact one and the Daiwa spinning cast version too.

I just got this in the mail today. Amazon has it on sale for $30 feels very well made. I have the 33 Black which is a nice step up from the standard but this one is step up from that nice reel.

I think you are the first and only person that I've heard to describe the Zebco Omega Pro as cheap.... That thing has a fantastic build quality... Open that sucker up and you'll see brass gear drive , ceramic pick up pins.. brass pinions, metal construction everywhere.... To me it just sounds like you have a Zebco contrarian mindset.... I means Zebcos are absolute legendary in the Spincast world.. hell they invented it.... The 33. Ole reliables.... And the Omega and the Bullet are top of the line..... But i guess there are always people who will hate what other people like... To each his own i guess... But to call the Omega cheap is just incorrect...

Unleaded gas has a shelf life of maybe a couple years. After that, loses its potency. If left in a can for a long time, it will rust inside.

where did you find this my biddy is needing one to complete his collection

Nice! I have a video on my channel with my grandfather's 99. He kept it in great condition and my dad just uses it around the property untill i visit lol

Man, nice I have a 2022 Sportsman 450 with power steering, great quad could use a little more power, mine also makes that clunking noise, I think they all do, if you lube the front driveshaft universal joint he helps alot with the noise, you can get a grease gun on the zerk fitting from under the bike, it took me a little bit to locate the fitting !

I love my Zebco spin casters, vintage or modern they are my favorites. I have other types of rods and reels, but mostly spin casters.

I love the old pistol grip rods. Have an old 2 piece Zebco of my Dad's. I see a few new ones on Bass Pro/Cabelas but never tried them. I picked up a few pistol grip handles from ebay thinking I'll cannibalize some rods i never use onto the old handles. Thanks for the video

Just ordered it on Amazon for $50. I got the smaller version. It was a hard choice because the new version has some good improvements but I like the look of this one better and you get an extra spool and two handles.

I think that the crank arrangement is, as you speculate, to use the rim as the drag (anti-reverse released) similar to "palming" a fly reel. In addition to folding the crank out of the way, the length of the "lever" is increased when the handle is deployed radially, increasing the cranking power. Not sure how useful that was... I expect this didn't work out as well as the marketing guys thought it might, I have the same vintage Minicast silver version since the 1970's-Exactly the same with the exception of the premium gold colour and the elaborate handle. It works well , including the drag. I could imagine that using only the wheel as the drag might be fun as increasing the drag resistance with a fish on the line, with the silver version, is less than precise in a panic. 😂😀

I have had one also since 93 and it always works wonderfully, and I have used mine a LOT !!! Never a problem

Keep up the good Work

Excellent idea!

I just serviced dads Abumatic 574, this brings back old memorys from the 80s and the 90s when we climbed up the mountains on fishing trips.

Im in the process of cleaning the exact same Zebco 33, i was wondering if there was a way to tell the age of them. Being yours is 1982 and mine is identical that somewhat answers my question 😊 ( it's 2024, im just now removing the 12 lb test line I spooled it with in 1993 when i was 14) i always thought it was a great reel!

I have some parts for Johnson reels. If you ever any to repair a reel

I just picked one of these up at a flea market for $2. Fished with it today. Solid spincast reel.

Nice work! You're spot on about folks not following the lighting procedures. I'm pretty sure that's why Coleman now has only 1 or 2 liquid fuel stoves today. Lawsuits over stupidity. It's unusual and a pleasant surprise to see someone who knows how to light them correctly.

Alot of fun

the 350's went to 99 and the 400 big bears went to 2012

i have a D on my mess kit is it from the danish army?. my its stainless

Hi there, what rod are you using please? I can see is a Daiwa, just can't tell the model. Many thanks

Can you change the retrieve from right to left?

I have a newer graphite Goldcast with a 5’ 6” St Croix rod with that pistol style grip. It’s really sweet for fun all-around fishing. 🎣

You can buy an extra lid for under $4 at the same time, drill a few small jet holes in it, and have a simmer ring. The stock lid will also simmer at a low level without holes if you don't make it have a tight seal, but it's a bit tricky. Don't touch the lid too quickly afterwards, or you'll drop it like it's hot!

Nice reel! I find it surprising so few reels have the levelwind feature.
