Giving up on Daiwa spincasters..

I know some have given them 'bad press', but the little Quantum ICON 20,
is, in my opinion a great little inexpensive spin caster. I have rigged
them with 5# mono, and horsed in some nice bass with them. I have other
more expensive spinning reels, but I keep the Quantum rig with a 6' 6"
HSX 40 quantum rod in my truck at all times for when I just want to pull
over and hit a good looking spot along the lake. I may change my mind
someday if it ever fails me...but so far no complaints at all .

Thanks for all the suggestions. I picked
up another Near new Johnson Crappie
pro reel, respooled it with 4lb spiderwire.
Casts long and accurate. I can hit a big tree in my yard with a casting plug
from
80ft away easily, throwing under tree limbs that are in the way...
Ought to be able to work around a dock
or two from 20ft away.
Thanks again
Rob

You might try backing off a litle bit. Hammer and I do well on a lot of
areas where other people flip by backing off and pitching.

I vote for the zebco33 too.

I had a 33 for over 10 years casted great then the gears stripped. I
tried the $50 Goldcast80 and Omega. Didnt like either. Why?- use of #8
Stren SuperBraid, well lack of use, the line wouldnt work in them. I
tried the GC80 for 3 days trying to get it to not bind up on the spool
rewind after rewind after rewind. I switched to Trilene XL #8 still
didnt seem to well. Not as good as the 33 it replaced. Returned it
bought the Omega well I had about the same results with the SuperBraid
/Omega as the GC80. I reutrned that one too.
I bought the $15 Zebco33 spooled it up with the SupeBraid and it
casts great. Im set for another 10+ years as far as my spincaster reel
goes.
Now the Zebo33 I believe has a new design that resembles Omega so cant
comment on the "new" one but you can still get the "Classic" 33.
