I have been buying a Zebco 33 combo for $12.00 and have been reselling
them. A Zebco 33 combo is a fishing reel with a fishing rod. The man
who I buy from cannot get me just the reel by its self and that is
what I would like for you to do. Since I know I can get the combo for
$12.00 I am figuring that the reel by its self should be about $5.00
or so. I guess all you need to know is the name of the reel witch is
(Zebco 33)
I have a business License and Tax Number that can be furnished upon
request. Let me know what you find out.

Have you checked with Zebco directly?  Also, what kind of quantity are
you looking at purchasing?

Hi, jimnbama,

 I have e-mailed one wholesale shop that may carry the Zebco reel you
are looking for. Otherwise, my research has turned up nothing for
Zebco 33 wholesale dealers.
 I did, however, find a listing for a wholesaler's fishing supply
directory that sells for $72.00 "INCLUDES WHOLESALE SOURCES FOR RODS,
REELS, LURES, HOOKS, TERMINAL TACKLE, ELECTRONICS, AND MOST ANYTHING
ELSE YOU NEED IN THE WORLD OF FISHING -- BOTH FRESHWATER AND SALTWATER
TACKLE."
 Most of the other wholesale suppliers I found on the intenet did not
have the Zebco reel you were searching for.
 If another researcher cannot come up with a supplier, would you be
interested in some further links for wholesale catalogs, including the
one I have highlighted, as an answer?
 I will also reply if I get a speedy e-mail response to my other
request.

 umiat

I have checked with the Zebco company directly and was told that they
dont sell to small business like mine and yes I might be interested in
a wholesalers guide for fishing rods and reels but would first have to
be asured that there is something in it other then stuff I can find on
the net myself which is normally what happens to me when I buy
directories :(
  I have never seen one item so hard to find as this reel is.
