Zebco 202. I later moved up to a Johnson Cast a Country Mile reel. What a hunk of junk. I used the 202 for many years until a pike or muskie pull the rod into the water, never to be seen again.

Christmas 1939:

Montague reel, 40 yard capacity, 2:1 gear ratio, braided silk line.
Luckie steel telescopic rod 3' to 8'.

Found in 1960 in the garage when my dad died and my mom moved from our family home.
