 The Holy Grail of Fishing Tackle For The BeginnerMay 27, 2004
By Clark Paull
"(Sleepin' with the TV on)"
Ah, the timeless and enduring Zebco 202, the ownership of which is as essential a rite of passage for American youth as sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Nearly 40 years ago, at the tender age of seven, the mighty 202 was my first fishing reel and worked like a dream in terms of use and maintenance for a kid for whom mechanical aptitude and patience were in very short supply. Its simple push-button casting is easy for kids to master and it's robust enough for them to haul in small panfish, perch, catfish, and bass hand over fist. Setting the drag and changing line is also a breeze. Believe it or not, I still have mine and it works perfectly, which bodes well for my son who is just now showing an interest in angling. Now if someone could just invent something which guarantees a fish with every cast...

Considering price - a great bargain!Jan 25, 2010
By K. Hudson

I've used it continuously on two short fishing trips so far. I think it is a great bargain for the money. My only complaint is that I ordered three, but they only shipped two. They charged me for three, so I had to request a refund for one. That reimbursement happened rather quickly. I will probably order one more soon, since shipping is free. The casting is pretty good - at least as good as my two other (more expensive, but not high end) spinning reels. My brother-in-law has a very high-end spinning rod and reel, which does easily outcase this one. I know he paid a whole lot for that setup (hundreds, I am sure), because he likes to buy the best available. Anyways, even though his is clearly better, it isn't better enough to justify paying 30 to 50 times more. It maybe casts 30 feet further.
I bought a couple of poles at Harbor Freight for $9 each and put these reels on them. I haven't seen any store selling a rod and reel for $15, so I feel pretty good about the purchase. :-)

Great value for my non-standard need. Launching stuff!!!Jan 19, 2012
By Bryan Lynch
First off: I don't use this reel for fishing.
I built a HAM radio antenna launcher kit from the Joplin Amateur Radio Club and the addition of a spincast reel was required.
Basically, I have this thing attached to the end of a PVC pneumatic antenna launcher. When you fire the launcher projectile, the line trails out of the reel for recovery over trees or high objects.
I replaced the 10lb line with 15lb and have had no issues.
I consistently get smooth launches and line recovery works well. No issues yet.
For $10 I couldn't find a better deal.
If you need a reel for launching goodies up into the trees, look no further :-)

I am a novice fisherman but had a houseboat trip on Lake Powell coming up. Bought these and two of the Shakespeare Medium Action Travel Mate Casting Rods (6-Feet 6-Inch) - and could not have been happier. Other folks on the boat were messing with tangled lines in their traditional casting rods. Not my wife and I. We were casting as far as everybody else. Smooth action and no fuss.
5 Stars.
