My wife is on her 3rd Zebco Omega, the other 2 still work also. 1 stays in Austin for freshwater & a spare at the coast for guests. The last one I bought is the black one with a slightly larger spool & drag. I have had to rebuild the drag in the older ones.
She hates spinning reels & baitcasters, these spincast reels get a serious workout with her on Redfish & Sheephead at the Jetties.
Only thing I don't like is where they put the drag control , she is always accidentally backing it off.
I put 20Lb. Suffix braid on them.

Used it earlier this year and caught 10-12 bass in a pond on a road runner from 1-3 lbs. Nice trip down memory lane. I like the Zebco products.

Reel back up over the tape. If they catch a fish that pulls drag the tape comes right off. When he backlashes it, it will only be one or two wraps and not the whole spool. It works like a charm for kids. Heck, I've done it myself when its really windy.
I’ll be ****ed…..
That’s genius, thank you.

I started my son on a Lew's MB. It's not made any longer. I got it because it had both centrifugal brakes you can adjust and also magnetic braking. It could be adjusted to where a kid could use it easily. I got 2 of them probably 6 years ago and he still prefers them. They are his favorite reels and I have a pile of higher end reels he can use.
