Zebco reel turns ten as Hull’s open faced doubt fades
May marks the tenth anniversary of R D Hull’s closed faced Zebco fishing reel. The invention reshaped angling gear, with widespread adoption across guides and hobbyists on jetties docks and boats. Hull’s device remains popular among women children and newer anglers while old timers return to the reel. The piece also offers broad fishing tips and advice on using a fly rod and popping bugs for bass and panfish, plus maintenance notes.
