[ICAST 2023] Trio of NEW Rod and Reel Combos from Zebco

The folks over at Zebco have brought out three new rod & reel combos for ICAST 2023. We probably all have used a Zebco spincast reel at some point in our lives, I myself remember as a kid going to K-Mart with my grandparents to get a small Zebco spincast combo. We caught a lot of little bluegill and a big catfish on that little setup out of the tiny pond in front of the apartments when I was growing up. I assume a lot of yall have similar experiences, so no need for introductions to Zebco. The first two of the rod & reel combos are geared towards fishing in saltwater, the 33 Salt Fisher, and the Salt Fisher Bite Alert. The third new combo is a much-requested left-hand retrieve version of the Roam Baitcasting combos that were released at ICAST last year.
