my shimano reel that i have now is one that is dying. its a mid range priced, i think it was about $60-70 new three years ago, and its been a good reel but the bail closure mechanism is shot. i havent had that happen on the higher end shimanos but on every cheaper one ive used thats where it has gone wrong first....that is actually what s wrong with both the ones i need to replace. my other reel is one that came from austraila 10 or more years ago. rainbow is the brand and itss been the best reel ive ever had. i dont know that they are still made cuz i cant find them in any web search.
