A: 
most spincast reels are relatively tangle free so I am not sure why you are having problems with the line twisting. Putting line on a reel correctly will solve many problems. If line is put on the wrong way it will twist and won't cast right. Also, you might try a lighter line. Otherwise, you might return the reel or contact Zebco.

Would this reel hold up for larger freshwater fishing (e.g. catfish, walleye, etc.)? It looks like the spool doesn't hold a lot of line, so I'm wondering if this would be good for big-water lake fishing.

A: 
You are on the right track. This would not hold enough line in my opinion. If you want a spincast for larger fish go with the Zebco ProStaff 888. Rated for around 125 yards of 20lb test and could hold more of smaller line.

Yes it will handle Cats with no problems and I've fished walleyes all over MI. and Canada and have used these reels with NO Problems at all !If you want to use it for Big Water ,such as salmon,it wouldn't be a good choice because of it smaller line capacity .It wasn't designed for those fishing conditions.Any freshwater short of Musky,I'd recomend.

i would not use it for catfish, the reel is made to use 10lb mono or smaller and does not hold much extra line, i use it mostly for bass and works fine, but i would not trust it with a big fish.

A: 
Remove the cover. With one hand push and hold down the line release button while at the same time holding the crank handle. With your free hand, grasp the part of the reel on top of the spool (the one where the retreival pins are located) and turn counter clockwise to unscrew it. The spool can then be slipped off and changed.

I would stay with monofilament line only and no more than one or maybe two sizes larger in pound test than what it is rated for. As far as brand I have always had great luck with Stren Original Monofiliment.

The Z02 is not too small but it is a heavy reel for its size since it is a well made reel. For my ultra lite spincast fishing I use a Zebco ProStaff 2010 rated for 6lb test and I respool with 4lb line and go for the bream and use them for catfish bait. LOL.

Item number 38-330-120-00 would be fine for bream, but might want to take a look at our Wally Marshall MC40 Mini Spincast Reel. It is half the weight and price. Search for item number 38-350-688-00

Details: 
My wife cannot use a baitcaster or a spinning reel and I would like her to have the benefit of braid line when fishing heavy cover or landing a large bass. It has been my experience that spincast reels do not handle braided line very well. I am thinking of either the 20 or 30 lb braid.

A: 
Probably not but you never know. If any spincast could handle braid it would be this reel because it is heavier and sturdier than any other spincast I have owned. The only thing I would really worry about is the braid damaging the spool.

i have not tried braided line with it, but i dont think it would work well especialy using that size line, it is made for monofilament 10lb test line, but if she can only use a spincast this is the reel to get.
