Youngster Catches First Smallmouth On Zebco's AVS 1.0

Since "dad" has his own river guide service in Illinois, you'd think that 4-year-old Jack Graham had some help catching his first-ever smallmouth bass. But the youngster landed this one all on his own.

Jack's father, Jonn, took him to a small creek at a state park in Prophetstown, IL, about 100 miles from home.

"When Jack pulled that fish in, he went crazy," said Jonn. "He was so excited that people walking along the trail in the park came over and took pictures of him and his fish with their own cameras. Ironically, he caught his fish within a cast-length of where I caught my first smallmouth. It was a proud moment for both of us."

That smallmouth was also the first fish that Jack caught on his new Zebco AVS v1.0 triggerspin combo.

"When I found out about the AVS equipment, I knew it would be perfect to help get him ready to use a spinning reel," John said. Zebco engineered the high-quality, high-performance AVS (Advanced Youth System) strictly with the younger angler in mind. Zebco AVS v1.0 comes in spincast, triggerspin and spinning combos for easy-to-use performance. The rods feature "Cast Assist" actions, providing maximum casting distance, and the shorter 4'8" and 5'4" rod lengths are designed for maximum control.
