Hello, I am looking to pick up a reel for my wife and due to wrist and hand issues a spincast is about all she can use. she currently uses a " cheap" reel that is less than ideal ( lousy drag and lots of line twist ) and I was looking for a better one for her. So far the zebco omega seems like a good choice and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. I was thinking trilene xl would be a good line for it. Your thoughts on this too please.

As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge

I used a botton of the line spinner reel for a long time also before I really got into fishing more.  One thing that I did was change the line out.  That seemed to help the twist a lot.  It probably wont help the drag much though.  But I went with a braided line for my cheapo reel.  It worked well for the few months that I fished it.

Check these three reels out on WWW.BASSPRO.COM.

I have two of the Zebco Omegas in the larger size and I like them very much. I use them quite often and I use Trilene mono with very little line twist problems.
