Surfing tonight found a new rod I've never seen before. They are Zebco slab seekers. Look like 10' & 12" two piece with foam handles. Couldn't find a picture to see if there is a reel seat. Has 8 eyelets + tip. Found a site where they can be purchased for $12.15 ea. Might be a cheap starter pole(s) for those getting into spider rigging.
Anybody heard of these or used them?
I sure have seen them around and I dont think the price you found is that special for them. I think BPS has them but maybe not. I though about them but just went with WM's instead. There is also a matching reel maybe
I also looked at one. And I did not like it.
Lets go fishing. Can't believe I'm passing up a day like today and not fishing. 55 degrees and no wind and the sun is out.
Did make it out to hook up the boat, But thats as far as my back would let me get today.

I looked at them at the fishing show in Raleigh and they are fiberglass rods - with the reel they had them at the show for $19.95 - I looked at them but I think the rods would easily break- I would spend about $10 more and get a much better rod - I put the zebco micro underspins on them and they work greatQuote:

I would spend the extra couple dollars as well and get better rods.....you really do get what you pay for......would you rather buy this one for 12.15 and have it break and have to buy another or just start off with one for $ 18 - 20.....Quote:
