Hey don't sell Shakespeare too short. I have owned several all up and down the price point. All have been great. My current line of fly fishing reels minus one are all the 1094 Shakespeare which cost me $9. My line I throw on it cost several times over that much and some flies I have fished cost more than the reel. Until I get into monster fish where a drag is needed I'll upgrade then. I have caught several trout in the upper teens to twenty inches on it with no problems. If It breaks I'll go pick another up.
Trust me I have yet to meet a fish that knew what it was caught on. Don't worry over name brands. Find what fits your budget or style and go from there.
On the actual use of spinning, it will allow you to do a lot more with lure selection and line that the closed face Zebco 33 style. You may find it more enjoyable to fish with. I will warn of the line twist as that is a problem but one everyone deals with and in pros vs. cons worth it to use a spinning reel.
Go try it out and feel free to ask any questions you have on it.
