You need to spend more money my friend. Sorry. Thats how it goes. You get what you pay for. I learned this a long time ago. If I don’t have the money to buy good gear I don’t waste my money. Don’t get me wrong they could last if you follow up each fishing trip with lubrication and cleaning but who wants to do that? Spend an extra $40. It’s not like fishing for blue gill and crappie on the neighbors little pond. I’ve been using the same Penn reels for years without fail. They are all purchased between $129 and $180.

you get the very most from your money with penn. just keep it clean and don’t use monofilament line on a plastic spool. the squidder will out cast any spinning reel and the jigmaster has the balls to take on all but the very largest S/W species. they don’t come with all the bells and whistles but they come with the guts. l’m using my dad’s reels, some of which are almost 30 years old. and if a penn did fail you, something was definitely …uh…fishy. P.S. squidders and jigmasters are right in your price range.

penn reels should last a lifetime if you take care of them you probably did not take good care of them if they broke in a year my dad has 3 penn reels that he has had for over 20 years and they are still in good condition and i have had my penn reel for 4 years in very good condition so give penn another chance and take real good care of it by taking it apart and putting petroleum jelly in all the gears

I Fish the Salt water surf real hard, almost every day in season. I have been using 2 Cabelas Salt Striker Metal for 4 years now and they are still 100% mechanically and smooth, the paint is a little chipped but that’s normal. Here are some tips to keeping your reels working great.
1. Unscrew the reel case(were the gears are) and pack it with red or blue bearing grease. I mean PACK IT. This helps keep most of the salt water and sand from getting to your gears and corroding them.
2.Try to rinse your reel with fresh water every-time or at least most of the times you return from a trip, especially if it fall in the sand or water.
3. Clean out the reel grease once a year and pack it with new grease.
You won’t be disappointed with this reel, here it is, make sure its the METAL one, there are two models, the other one has a plastic body and will not last. Oh by the way, if you don’t like the color of the SS Metal, I believe the Pfleugar Medalist is the same reel, I will try to post it. Good Luckhttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpageR…

Don’t listen to Tbone you can get a shimmano 5000 for $20 or $30 I have had one since 1999 and have never had to grease or oil it, because shimmano builds their reels very tight with no leaks that will void the grease and oil.
P.S: a expensive reel wont catch you more fish
Good luck!

A spinning reel is by far the reel of choice. It is the most versatile out there and are easier to learn how to use than say a casting reel. For the best distance, use the lightest line you can get away with.

of course they cast …
The Spinning Reel
The closed faced reel is the inexpensive spinning reel. It is also fairly easy to control. This is probably the choice you would make for those who are learning to fish. They have a push button release for casting. They have an opening at the top where the line comes out when you cast. The reel will mount on your rod.
The open faced spinning rod is a more challenging option. It comes in many sizes to fit your needs. The lightest models are excellent for pan fish. Larger choices will help you with game fishing or ocean fishing. The line capacity on these is greater and is serviceable when you are after trout or even salmon. They offer a smooth drag. Although you can start with a closed face, you can improve your skills and move on to the open faced.
If you are only choosing one type of reel, go with a medium speed one. If two, then look for both a low speed and a high speed. Also, you should choose the right reel depending on if you are left handed or right handed. Also, remember that the lighter the line is, the smaller the reel. You’ll need to insure that the fishing line and the fishing reel will work together well.
You can get help with learning what type of reel to purchase from the salespeople at the fishing tackle shop.
