Spincast Fishing Reel
In 1949, the Zero Hour
Bomb Company faced extinction, with its patent for an oilfield time bomb
running out. Then R.D. Hull, an itinerant watchmaker, barber, and
inventor, presented the company with plans for an easy-to-use,
enclosed-spool fishing reel. Zero Hour rebranded itself as Zebco and
stayed in business, selling thousands of the reels.
