About

I have been an angler since I was 8 years old. I told my Da that I wanted to go fishing with my friends but I needed a rod and reel to begin. He thought it was a great activity for a boy to take up, and, as soon as I saved up my money to do so, I had his blessing. He had just graduated from college and begun his career. He and Mom lived in a basement apartment with me, my 4 year old sister, and a baby on the way, so, yes, the household budget was thin. I understood the circumstances, and began babysitting, doing yard work, and redeeming empty softdrink bottles I picked up along roadsides. In 3 months I had saved enough to bicycle to the Western Auto store in Chamblee and purchase a Zebco 33 reel on a South Bend rod. Da told me that if I rinsed off the reel and dried after every fishing trip, and disassembled it every 6 months to clean and lube it, and replaced the old line with new, then the reel would reward me with years of fishing adventures. I did what he told me to do. It is 69 years later. The reel works flawlessly. Da has been gone for 27 years. I am an old man blessed priceless memories of fishing with my Da, family, and friends. Just 3 years ago, the old girl helped me bring an 8 pound 2 ounce bass in to admire. I hope that she will pass along to someone who will know how special she is.

Sportsman Gasoline 2000W Generator

Very pleased with this product. I am age 70, and, although a bit weighty, I have no problems carrying it to my boat. Very compact design, and very intuitive to use.
