Giving up on Daiwa spincasters..

Well I wanted a spincaster on a short rod to work docks with.
Have an old Zebco, and a few ancient Johnson reels that cast
very well but drag was not the greatest on them..
I wanted something better, thought Daiwa was the way to go.
Tried all these:
Daiwa Silvercast 100
Daiwa Silvercast 80
Daiwa Procaster 100
Daiwa Procaster 80
Daiwa Undercast 80
Daiwa Goldcast 80GC
All of these with the exception of the $50 80GC gave me troubles,
but that was borrowed and I did not get to try it as long as I wanted.

On a long cast these reels would suddenly decide that it went far enough
and the rotor pin pops out and stops the line either breaking off your
lure or sending it back at you like a missle. Contacted Daiwa, no help
there...They suggested new line...It WAS new line! I cant respool on
every 5th cast.
On some of these the line would get hung in the gap between
the spool and rotor requireing some time to fix it. All reels were brand
new with original line on them.
The 80GC has an oscillating spool to keep the line from winding wrong
and it gave me no trouble..but still has the same design as the others
that did give me trouble(big gap between rotor and spool catching line).

Now I am leaning towards the new Zebco Omega all metal model with
interchangable oscilating spool reel with 6 bearings in it.
