Spincast
It's been well over 50 years since I've used a spincast reel. Back when I was a kid we had either the Johnson Century or the Zebco 33. Now since my grandson (12) has discovered an interest in panfishing (especially crappie) I'd like to get him his own outfit.
He used a friends closed face last week and loved it. So, I'm relying on you folks to clue me in to what is a good quality spincast reel for his birthday next month.
I remember some of the troubles I use to have with the old ones. Namely, the failure to pick up line fast enough when you start the retrieve. That and the line getting inside the rotor pin cup. I'm hoping that over the past several decades, some of these woes have been alleviated. Maybe not? In any case, I'd appreciate suggestions as to what I could consider to buy him. Thanks much Folks!
