X2 with dbd!! Old 33's and Johnson centurys and BPS rods are really good, at least the ones I have. The new 33's have changed the inside spin cap and reel cover angle's have been changed and they are not smooth. My grand daughters first rod was a little Zebco 22 outfit and I just took the line off replaced it and tightened everything up and fresh grease.

She's grown so much I have to get her a new outfit and I'm going to get her a Zebco Indestructable in light action and haven't decided on a reel yet but the Omega series is at the top of the list - still checking flea markets for used OLD 33's. Even if I have to spend $50 or $60 on an outfit I'll know she's fishing with good stuff and you really need that so the kids don't lose interest.

Heck I still use an old Zebco 1 classic for crankbait fishing and it's great and I'm a big kid!!!!!!!!LOL
