About Zebco
Watchmaker, barber, and inventor R.D. Hull founded Zebco in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1949, in conjunction with the Zero Hour Bomb Company. The latter company, which manufactured electric time bombs designed to fracture oil wells, was looking to expand beyond its initial product and its expiring patent. Zebco's maiden reel was called the Standard, and was soon to be joined by the Model 22 in 1953. The Model 11 and Model 33 followed, helping popularize the notion of landing larger fish with lighter tackle. Dozens of products and patents later, Zebco still pays tribute to the legacy of R.D. Hull with every rod and reel the company produces. The W.C. Bradley Company purchased Zebco in 2001, but the company headquarters remains in Tulsa. The Platinum series takes Zebco's proven Authentic 33,11 and 11T to a new level of performance and durability. Featuring more refined features like a precision-machined metal body, 4 and 5 ball-bearing drive systems and Continuous Anti-Reverse, we think you'll agree, the Platinum series is one of our highest performing and most durable spincast reels ever built.
