5.0 out of 5 stars So far - great!, May 27, 2009

Got the Omega reel for my birthday, I've used it a few times and it works great. With a heaver lure you can throw it a country mile. Very smooth retrieve. Solidly built, may seem heavy if you are used to the spinning reels. Works like the old school Johnsons from the 50s and 60s (not the cheap junk they make now). Try it, you'll like it!

You can't beat the Zebco Omega if you're looking for a spincast reel. It is made almost entirely of high quality, metal parts so it's only drawback is that it is a bit on the heavy side. I don't mind the weight because with it, you get quality you can both see and feel. The smoothness and quietness of the 6 bearings is unmatched by any other spincast reel I've ever used and the drag is simple to operate allowing for both a wide and granular adjustment. I was shocked at how far I could cast with it (must be the ceramic pins). I used it lake fishing my first time out (after putting new 6 lb. Trilene line on it) and was easily outcasting my brother in-law who was using a spinning reel.

At first I thought the price was a bit high for a spincast but the oscillating spool and quick-spool-change-out system make this reel worth every penny. These features, along with its superior casting performance make it every bit as good as a standard spinning reel with less maintenance. It is as easy to change out the spool on the Zebco Omega as any standard spinning reel. It comes with a spare spool out of the box and I found a couple of online stores that sell spare spools for about $5 each (shipping not included); thus, this reel could really take a workout on a marathon fishing trip.

I have also tried the Diawa Goldcast and, as far as I am concerned, there simply is no better spincast reel on the market. If you want the best product that will last you forever, buy the Zebco Omega.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beats the Crap Out of Expensive Reels, June 11, 2010

I have a fishing friend who uses spinning reels. I use this Zebco, and I out cast him easily! He has problems with his reels, and I just laugh and keep fishing!
I also have the Z02 on an ultralight rod. Love both of them. Oh, and did I mention you only need one hand to use these babies?
