Yes, that’s pretty much where I’m at as well. Also, I think you get a wider selection of quality and price with regular spinning gear.

I will agree their. There is a limited selection at best

I was wondering what rod you use with your Zebco Omega Pro Z2’s.I like to use
my Z2 for cold weather fishing when I have to wear gloves.Thanks for any info.

It’s a combo that I bought. Just lists it as a Zebco 33 rod. It’s ultralight.

I don’t use em and taught the grandkids with spinning. Sorry I’m no help. I do want to share a story similar to Jacks. Camryn wasn’t 10 and we were fishing near a bridge with rip rap but off of the rocks. 1/32 with a panfish assassin body so you know the size and a 5’ four pound test setup and she says fish. The drag starts screaming, then she starts screaming, then the 10 folks on a dock 30’ away start cheering. She has no control at all, then I see why. She’s hooked into about 5 lbs of LMB who is now running back and forth through a good sized branch so I knew the eventual outcome. He ran back and forth about 4 times before the line was too tangled and audibly snapped. She was crushed and the spectators began clapping. All total less than ten seconds. She talks about this still almost ten years later. Love moments like those, I can still see it all in my mind. Thanks for letting me go off track.

I have several ultralight casting rods I swap back and forth with BFS and baitcasting reels loaded with six pound line .
A couple are custom rods built on ultralight spinning blanks . One is a five footer I just got off Amazon for around $30 . It seems to be a nice rod , took about three or four weeks from China . I have a couple of Daiwa fiberglass UL rods I use too .

I began my fishing with a Zebco 33 . I used these spooled with six pound line for bass fishing , but have always had some kind of UL spinning outfit .
I used the 33’s for several years . We’d trick them out , slicking up the drags on them .

I have an Omega on a 6 ft old Gander Mountain crappie rod. It actually casts quite well and drag ain't bad

I break out the Zebco 33 now and again if for no other reason than nostalgia. And it's so easy to use too. Was messing with a Zebco trigger/under spin the other day. Going to give it to a neighbor kid.
