ZEBCO OMEGA spincast reel ??

Guys are there any advantages to using the zebco spincast reel over spinning reels and baitcasters ??

If this is the little spincast that holds about 60 yards of 6 pound test then I've had a few when I was a kid/teenager. I wouldn't choose one over a spinning reel, the spools had a tendency to crack when I caught a bigger fish (let's say a 6 pound northern)and the line "pick up" was only okay. I would recommend one if you are really used to spincasts but if you are used to regular spinning reels I'd stick with that. Sorry if I'm talking about a different reel.

I think the only advantage would be ease of cast for children. I myself started on a Zebco 33 as I think many american kids did. However, their drag is not as good, they really dont cast any better, and they can be tough on line. For adult use I would really go with either a spinning reel or baitcast, depedning on the application you are going to use it for.
