Zebco was my first reels for many years too. When I first moved to Utah in Aug of 1976, the first thing I learned from local fisherman was fishing for browns on the Weber, using a nightcrawler and a split shot, just casting up stream, keeping the rod tip high and bouncing it downstream. Lost a lot of those set ups before I got the hang of it but it did catch some nice browns. Later I started using the Mepps spinner that worked well for river trout. When I moved on to fishing from a boat, the triple teaser was my go to lure, copper was my best producer. We would kill them at Pineview back in the days when it was a trout fishery. We would get out on the water and have our limits by 9:30 or 10 am and that was when the limits were 6 or 8 each. Good times.
