My son is finally old enough to start fishing. I want to start him out with a spincast reel, but I remember most of them as being junk when I was a kid. Any suggestions for an all-purpose, quality spincast reel?

I think that Zebco would be a good brand to look at when it comes to decent spinner reels.

Great, their 22 gold looks like just the ticket.

Got the Zebco 22 gold for my son. He's been practicing with a casting plug & is starting to get the hang of it! I'm really impressed with the quality of the reel - it feels really solid & the retrieve is silky-smooth!

My first pole was a Zebco and my two oldest kids first poles were Zebcos.. I prefer the 22... Its a really simple rod perfect for a kid to start out with.
