Spinn cast with a button or spinner reel ?

I use mostly open face spinning reel. I also have several older closed face spinning reels (Daiwa & Zebco) which are under the rod and have a trigger instead of a button. The trigger spins are not a fraction of the quality of conventional spinning reels especially when it come to drags but they still serve a purpose. Try giving a kid or any first timer your Shimano spinning reel. Prepare yourself for an afternoon of biting your tongue and clearing tangles.

Same experience I had with these "D". I can't remember what I paid years ago, but do remember how disappointed I was!

I have Zebco 33s on my spider rigging rods, some of the originals and newer models also, I really like the spin cast for S/R and they work just fine for this, as they being used mostly for line storage and it is much easier to hit the pushbutton than trying to get the bail flipped on a spinning reel, when you snag several rods in a brushpile; also it seems to be less tangling when storing rods for ride home, they are more compact than spinning reel with much less protrusions to snag lines.

I prefer a spinning reel by far. Much easier to put new line on. More mechanicly sound.

If you ever have the chance to use a Diawa Gold Cast ( spin cast reel ) you will never go back to spinning reels.
