Decent quality ultralight trigger spin reel?

I've gone to using Light rods for pan fish instead of ultralight because they cast a little better and still give you fun action, but I have a couple of nice UL rods that I'd like to rig up for kids to use when the bream are bedding. I have some cheapy triggerspin reels but they cast about like a snoopy reel.
Any suggestions that won't break the bank?
Mainly just ready for fishing weather....

If you can still find them I had good luck with the rod and reel combo's from Wal-Mart for about $20.I got some shackspear and daiwa that I'v had for several yrs and have more than got my moneies worth.Been looking for some new one's but have'nt been able to find any.I like the trigger reel's better than the small spinning reels.

I grew up using the brand mini-cast. You can google it. Think they are like 40 bucks maybe. Small easy to use and good for kids and adults.

Yeah, the combo's are usually worth the $ but now I have good rods from said combos with dead reels. I like the triggers for ultralight, because even kids can manage to cast with them. I'll check out the Mini-Cast brand. The ones I had before were Shakespeare and just didn't hold up.
