Waiting for Speedway Fowler

While wandering through a Dick's Sporting Goods the other day, something on the wall caught my eye.

It was a Zebco rod and reel.



I didn't even know Zebco was still in business.

I used to have one of those. I think it may still be around, probably in the back of the hall closet in Falmouth.

Zebco makes the cheapest, simplest fishing gear you can find.

When I was a kid, you could by a Zebco rod and reel for $7.99 at Rexall.

I used to fish off the Menhaunt bridge over near Green Harbor.



I never once caught anything worth keeping, but it was always a great time.
