It's about damn time someone made a spincast that isn't absolute dogshit.
Yes I actually bought one today. Was gonna just get an Abumatic 170 but they didn't have one. Guy said they just came in and I played around with it for a minute.
Why spincast? Last year I got into the baitcast meme and while I enjoy it, there's times when I can't be bothered. I bought and returned 5 spincast reels last year trying to find one worth my time and came to the conclusion that they're all shit. I considered the zebco Omega lineup but they all have slow inch per turn.
This model claims 27 inches per turn and has bearing roller pickups so I'm gonna go full retard and put some 40 lb braid on it tomorrow. Got some of that 8 braid spiderwire which feels pretty round and smooth to me.
Will report back after fishing the next few days, it's supposed to break 80 degrees here in southeast GA later this week.
