Recommendations for Spincast Reel
« on: September 23, 2009, 05:10:27 PM »
Can anyone recommend a spincast reel to put on a kids rod?  After replacing the Lightning McQueen kids combo 3 times, I decided to find something more durable.  Boys and plastic reels don't mix too well ;D.  I picked up a couple of Ugly Stik Junior Rods and need to put reels with them.  I haven't ever shopped for a spincaster and haven't used one in years.  Any help would be appreciated.  Reel doesn't have to be spectacular, just durable and I would rather not have to replace it again(or not after 1 trip).

Thanks

Zebco 303 will work well.
Good things come to those who bait

Builds and repairs rods if needed

The 22 is pretty good.  It's also fairly small  and fits little hands well.

Thanks guys!  I checked out both the Zebcos and I think I need to go even smaller for the rods.  Rods are only 3'8" so I think the 11 size series might be more what I need?

Anyone ever use any of the Shakespeare Synergy Series reels?

Thanks

Never heard of them?  Do you have a link or website to them?

Thanks
