My mistake... didn't scroll back up to the top.
The two that Berkley show are "regular" spincast and they go on top.
The trigger-type, aka "underspins" work like a spincast but - yes - those do hang UNDERNEATH (like a spinning reel).
The fly-reel type that TD mentioned... he also indicated that it was just for line storage. So - and I'm assuming here - those reels probably have a larger arbor... and although might be capable of holding a lot of line, ti wouldn't be necessary.
I could see how you could even put on 30-40 yards of 20-30# braid with a 15'-20', 4-10# mono leader. If just fishing for crappies... try to envision it as just a "fancy" cane pole. At least that's what I'm thinking...
