I have had excellent luck with AbuGarcia's Center Drag, some say its alittle big, but I have not found that to be the case. There will be a new model comming out later this year that will be much smaller, in the mean time there are some really great promotions on them now.

Good Luck

I take it that when you say spincast reels, you are talking about closed face reels. In my humble opinion, I think that Abu Garcia makes the best spincast (closed faced) reels on the market. If you are talking about open faced reels try the Shakespeare Catera, Rear Drag.

I would recommend the AbuGarcia spincasts for value, but the Diawa's give the best overall performance.
