Tube dude is right. Just stay away from the plastic. But even with good high priced reels, on years when I fish four to six days a week, I cant get a spinning reel to last more than two seasons. You may want to send a private message to skeeter2 he has tried them all from $125.00 to $30.00 per reel. I am still waiting to hear if the new mitchell is going to be a workhorse.
