I've tried a few Zebco reels for out children. The quality seems far below what they used to be and they break down quickly. I do recall some of the 70s vintage 202s and 404s lasting a long time.
I am still using Ugly Stik rods. I think we might own almost 20 of them along with a dozen Shimano, 6 Diawa, and a couple of Okuma reels.
