What's wrong with a Zebco? Nothing. For crappie, spool it with with 6lb test. It will also handle smallmouth if drag is set correct. I also love 8lb test, that gives some room for error if your fishing good bass waters. If your going for nothing but bass get 10-12lb test.
I believe your thinking of the Zebco 33, good reel for starting out, no need to get fancy and, you may use it for the rest of your life.

I recently bought 2 Pflueger Presidents, one in ultra-light, one in full size, and I've been very impressed w/both. Used the ultralight almost exclusively for 4 days straight on a trout fishing trip, and it worked flawlessly. As for Zebco, their Omega thumb-casters are top of the line. Yeah, they're thumb-casters, but they're made very well and they last. I've had one for 6 years, and have caught literally hundreds of panfish and bass w/it. All I do is clean it well and re-spool it w/6# mono every spring, and the thing just plain works. My kids snag em all the time, so I went w/ a quality spincast cuz they don't know how to use them yet!
