ZEBCO 808

[@karlbrooks5693]

Thank you! You've kept me fishing through one of my hardest times this year.

[@StarFoxX92]

i just start fishing a month or so ago i base my whole setup on urs amigo thxs ur videos they r very educational me and my kids enjoy them

[@76unclefester]

Great video I am a zebco man myself . Absolutely love them I have found that Vaseline and 3&1 oil still works as good as it did on grandpa's reels lol

[@Mclovin380]

Them reflexes on the hook set man great job!

[@edwardroberts2997]

Hello,
Good to see a new face I've been fishing for some 45 years now 80 years old coming at you sir I am a white dude from East Hartford Ct.

[@ajcastro111]

Your hooksets are the best! Zebco does the job, good job man👍🎣

[@TheBigORanch]

Just picked up my 2nd Zebco 33. Saw that 808 and thought I might get laughed off the lake. After watching this, I'm going to get it. Thanks for the video. Lots of good tips just watching.

[@rickbrown7067]

Hi Jeff,
I’m in Mesa going to hit the canals with my 303 this week. Love your channel, keep up the good work.

[@frankleadem486]

I do love my Zebco's. Thanks for sharing the 808. I have a couple set up for light trolling Chesapeake Bay....

[@MarkMeadows90]

I love my Zebco 33 rod and reel combo. Bought it last summer (2020) and have been catching some good sized fish. Small sunfish all the way to my personal best on it, a 12 lb channel catfish from a neighbor's pond. It came pre-spooled with 10 lb line. Used it quite a bit, but the line became hard over time. Replaced it with some good ol' Trilene XL 10 lb monofilament. Works a lot better now.

[@commenter4515]

I love that you started the video with a catch, great video. Just got a 808.

[@jeffjackson5331]

Nice rod/reel setups. Nice looking cats. I loved your background music

[@jaman5735]

nice rod and reel setup!!! just stubbled over your channel and subbed 56 year old army vet (1982-1986) greeting you from germany. you be carefull and God bless!!!

[@REELFishingArizona]

Thank you my friend !!
GOD Bless and be careful

[@itbigboy1984]

Love my 808's I have many both old and new! Really enjoy the background music!

[@user-sf7lv4jm4c]

Hell yah man! Keep on fishin. Looks like your down by Yuma

[@trojan4ever298]

I started with a zebco 808. Gotta love that reel & rod. I recommend use shad bro. You’ll catch the bigger channels

[@SimpleAsBDCs]

Great Video and I just Picked up one of these Zebco 808 can't wait to use it...

[@daneboro6847]

Looks like a nice relaxing spot, enjoy have a blessed Sunday.

[@streetpreacher175]

Great video.. 808 reels have been legendary for year

[@rogerdecker2732]

First time seeing your videos. I’m in Illinois. Thinking about switching from bass over to cats. I’m impressed with your setups, style, technique and the choice of background music. I’m now a subscriber. Tight lines man

[@REELFishingArizona]

Thank you MR.Decker

[@wscspooky]

Me too ❤️ tight lines. Follow me on Tik tok

[@joshtodd2119]

Heck ya I just found your channel. Really enjoy this kind of fishing.

[@joebuckhoff]

I like your music selection! your setup would be excellent for surf fishing! I moved from Glendale, AZ to Plymouth, MA. What part of the valley did you film this at? I'm researching reels. I use Zebco 202s for freshwater. I already have a $500 set up and need to get another more affordable setup for catching bait fish.

[@frankleadem486]

Congrats on the catfish! Hey bud, the spline on that rod is supposed to bend the opposite way. That is, it would work better guides facing down with a spinning reel on it. However, results are what matters and you are producing. Go Man!

[@35806willnala]

Yeah unconventional

[@carlosGCT1981]

Yes, I noticed that too. In reality he is fishing with the rod in reverse. But at the end of the day, what matters is fun.

[@panoutfishing7223]

That first hookset is what made me sub to you!

[@JVOutdoors]

Nice reel and rod setups. Nice fish too

[@richardpayne4396]

I was over road trucker an when driving in Ca an Az going over canals I would wonder if there was fish in there. Guess you just showed me. Stay safe an tight lines.

[@machinegun3133]

just found your channel.. Its fantastic! cheers from Canada brother!

[@REELFishingArizona]

Thanks and welcome my friend !!

[@claudegatewood8122]

Heck yeah. Good fishing as always. 👍😁

Good fishing my friend!!

[@asphaltcowboy5184]

What cross streets are you at Jeff?? Great video 🤙

[@donnadixon8991]

jeff, i 'm glad some one else beside me uses a zebco spincast reel....that's all i use...thanks great video..........

[@cheapskateaquatics7103]

Same, people have some weird thing against spincast reels. I grew up using zebco spincast reels and never had any issues with them.

[@MarkMeadows90]

They're cheap and effective. Can't go wrong with Zebco. My family has been using them for generations.

[@44MagnumHitman]

I also have an Old Whiskers Catfish system 10' pole, and it's held up incredibly well. I think I like it better than my Ugly Stik!

[@fatraabbit1]

Thank You. I enjoyed your video very much. Some nice fish .

[@tylerhurd9569]

I subscribed. Anyone that likes fishing and bluegrass is okay in my book.

[@scadstersworld5634]

I recently bought a Zebco 888 reel on Ebay. Haven't found a rod for it, though.

[@Tower123A]

Great fishing video. Thanks.

[@FrankLadd]

great scenery while you are fishing!

[@turboboy0]

since i pretty much only target catfish nowadays i use "free" bait. expired steak, shrimp, hotdogs, chicken. i have 12 rods/reels but i love using my dock demon 2.5' rods for catfishing. one has a penn pursuit4 4000 with 30lb braid and a 4/0 circle hook and the other has a penn pursuit4 6000 with 80lb braid and a 6/0 circle hook. have not lost a fish since switching to braid. really wish one of my 8000 series reels with 80lb braid or my daiwa df100a with 100lb braid would fit. would be hilarious.

[@Yelladog78]

Monday night I caught a 25lb flathead using a Zebco 808 boss hawg combo from Walmart. Only upgrade was Berkley trilene big game 30lb

[@justingriffith9682]

Good job! Thanks for sharing!

Hi it's me again you didn't say what kind of Bait you were using please tell what you are

[@jimscarnivorekitchen4731]

Great video

[@willardmsuttonjr3093]

I love catfishing better than bass fishing

[@racebot9963]

Hey Jeff it’s me tanner I texted you last week but I am not sure when you would like to go fishing with me and thank you and amazing catches

[@wjpreslar]

Best release in the business.

[@pistolpeds]

The guides on that rod are spaced for an underspin or egg beater reel, not an overhead. A big cattle will snap that rod when the pressure gives the rod an unnatural parabola. Needs more guides closer together. I feel that you need to dump the closed face for a spinning reel for a stronger set-up.

[@dainfamily4232]

Planning on getting this. Amazing video

[@MrFishingca]

good job Jeff!

[@stutterin_stick239]

Seen a couple of your videos! You earned my sub buddy 👍💯Amazing fish you caught there!! Mind sharing the whereabouts of the spots you fish I live in AZ as well?5

[@donwoods9784]

Where is this spot your fishing? I go to the pond out by palo verde sometimes.

[@jeffreyg8275]

Back in the water! Put that in a frying pan!thanks for the video. I love the 33s but i need something alittle heavier for these Virginia cats.

I’m coming down this month for the winter, cannot wait to hit the canals! Would love to hook up with you and get some kitty’s. Hope you have a great day.

I will do! Thanks Jeff

[@peacecole1968]

[@dmnguye69]

the size of the pole looks to be an overkill :)

[@Gokywildcats11]

May I ask what model or rod you are using. Thanks

[@kevinfelty2209]

Perfect size I cud cach that. All day. Good reels. To.

[@artistoflife24robertson37]

The rod you are using is made for a spinning reel...not a spincast reel. If you were really catching big catfish I think you would have issues.Great video though.I think that understanding your equipment is a big plus.

[@REELFishingArizona]

Thanks. I've been catching big carp with those and it works out pretty good. But yeah if I hooked a 30 pound catfish there might be a slight problem. lol

[@Magoosna]

Nice catch what type of hooks are you using?

[@REELFishingArizona]

#2 mustad treble hooks. #6 eagle claw hooks for carp

[@michaelcooper3210]

Nice video! Looking forward to checking out ya channel!

I use STRYKERBAIT punch bait now. better cattails and more scent.

I think people use these zebco reals cause they can't use a spinning reel or a bait caster
