Spincast Underspin Reels
Has anyone tried a Spincast Underspin Reel?... it looks like this
http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catal...rTarget=browse Just wondering if those would be a good alternative to a Spinning Reel that might eliminate the Line Twisting problem. Thanks Chris |

Hi Chris,
I have three of them and I purchased them years ago. Zebcos are all three and they work fabulously when I dust them off and go for some crappie or sunny's. All are on ultra light rods and are of ultralight in size to feel the fight of those smaller fish. I just took a look at those underspins on BPS's page and I would pass if I were you unless you're just starting out and even then, I'd revert to a nice beginners reel of a less inexpensive Shimano or better. Put your money into something that offers smoother operation with at least 2 ball bearings. You'll be glad you did. Just my nickels worth. Stick~em |

so most of them or maybe all are made for light fishing only... like Sunfish?

mostly, yes. I'm sure they could handle retrieving a larger fish but it would put a lot of strain on the gears, I'd think. Crappie and bream don't really put up as much of a fight as a 3lb bass would.
By the way, Bass are members of the sunfish family, too. |
