response to acajun2's post reguarding spincast reels. While I don't know of any spincast manufacturers this still build their reels in the U.S. but I can tell you that I just recently purchased a Zebco Omega Pro, and I think it is the last reel I will ever buy. It's the most expensive reel that they make, but for less then 80 dollars, it's a d**n good buy. it has a larger opening in the hood of the reel for better casting distance, and i can actually cast farther with it than i can with my more expensive reels. It comes with two different handles, a single blade "speed handle," and a double bladed "power handle. also the handle can be mounted on either side of the reel. Which is nice because it's always better to hold the rod in your dominant hand, and retrieve with the other. hope this helps.
