Title: Really nice casting
Review: The ball bearings make for a smooth cast. Drag isn’t quite as good as an expensive reel but for the price, this reel is really good.

Title: Great real for this pricepoint. Usable for fresh and lighter duty saltwater.
Review: It does not fall short. Casting is very good, really had no issues when using it right out of the box for 4 days of fishing. It's got an easy use push button that works well and provides precise casting. Very much a good starter to below amateur reel that should provide years of use. It should be fine for both youths and adults for most fresh water fishing. I does come spooled with Cajun mono filament line which worked great, but was just a bit shorter than I'd like to see it come with. I could cast much farther if it had more line. For saltwater you will need to respool it with a lot more fishing line.

Title: Great spincast for the money
Review: I currently run this reel on 7.5ft rod and it is great to cast. The only thing to watch for is the Platinum has a higher reel speed than the normal 33. If you reel too fast, the fish will think your bait is on a jetski.

Title: Great reel for those who don’t like spinning reels or bait casters.
Review: Zebco has made nice reels at decent prices for decades. I sell fishing reels for work and I recommend this reel to people who want a spin cast reel. This is a smooth quality reel at a great price. I bought this as a gift for my mother and she loves it.

Title: HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT - WITH UPDATE
Review: Taken from an email I sent Zebco...I bought this reel last month (May 7th, 2024) on Amazon BECAUSE it was a "Platinum" and it's officially the worst and most disappointing Zebco product I've ever owned in over 40 years as a Zebco Customer. I THOUGHT that, since you named it "Platinum", it would exceed the 33 in build quality and function but I was very wrong. It seems to just be a regular 33 with a bigger gear ratio (not properly done apparently) AND a silver mundane quality paint job. I have an Omega that I love and thought this would be somewhere between the standard 33 and my Omega and it's worse than an old rusty 33 from the 70s I had when I was a kid.I've lost TWO EXPENSIVE LURES because of the sudden stopping on casting issue it has. The first lure was a SPRO Creeper that cost me a total of $24 with shipping and a River to Sea Large Phantom Shad Whopper Plopper that also cost $24 when I got it. So the reel has officially cost me more in lures than it cost me to buy. AND, this all but ruined my Father's Day fishing trip that my wife planned for me. All of this is unacceptable...full stop.Upon further research this evening, I've discovered SEVERAL Amazon reviews mentioning this issue specifically and it would appear that you need to resolve this. There is no good reason for it, only excuses. Research and development should have caught it and it feels like a rushed product anyway.Also, since this IS a new product with an as-of-yet unresolved design flaw, I do not want a replacement as it will likely have the same issues. I'd like to be refunded the cost of the reel, as well as the lures lost AS A DIRECT RESULT of that design flaw. The reel cost me just under $30 after tax and with the two lures at $24 each, that's a total of $78 that I need from Zebco.****UPDATE****I contacted ZEBCO since I was beyond my Amazon return period. After THREE DAYS, they replied to my email just to refuse my request for a refund and reimbursement of my reel and lures.HOWEVER, they ARE replacing my defective reel with another. They gave me A CHOICE of another Platinum or a Delta. I decided on the Delta size 30 and they are shipping it to me now.So, not the outcome I hoped for BUT, it's more than I thought I'd get. I'm raising my review up from 1 star to two because ZEBCO stepped up a bit but, this reel is still not one I can recommend.

Review: Bought this for my sons birthday, he used it on one fishing trip to our family cottage and the reel stopped engaging the line to reel it in. What a waste of money.
