Looking for a new reel

Hey guys. Looking for a bit of advice. I've been fishing since I was
5 (so 20 years now), and have used a spincast reel pretty much all
that time. Now I have other types, but for traditional open face
reels I usually don't use them for smaller stuff like bass fishing. I
just use them when fishing for catfish and other large species where I
basically just chuck it out for long periods and wait. I also have a
few baitcast reels, but I've never liked them too much. With the
lighter lures I use for stuff like bass, it's hard to get much
distance with them, and I generally just don't feel like I have as
much control as far as where my lure lands.

So, with my preference for spincasts, I've run into a problem. I've
used Zebco 33's almost all of my life. I remember the ones from my
childhood holding up decently, but the new ones are not nearly so well-
built. I consider it a miracle if I get two years out of them. They
also have a tendency to put a lot of kinks into the line so that upon
retrieval it'll twist around the rod tip if I'm not careful - this is
the main thing aggravating me.

From what I've hard, Zebco makes a better reel called an Omega that is
built with all metal parts and doesn't kink the line as badly. I've
also heard good things about the Abu Garcia and Daiwa spincast
reels.

Basically, I want an opinion on the Zebco Omega vs the Abu Garcia's
vs. the Daiwa's. Long term durability and minimization of the line
kink problem are my main concerns. Price is not too much of a problem
since all of these are under $100.

Thanks.
