There's plenty of cheap reels out there that do the job. For instance I used Pfleuger presidents for a few years of torture, leaving them in the boat for a week at a time in the sun and rain, never cleaning them, banging them up....and they've done great and haven't had any performance issues. I just got a new Revo S and honestly prefer my old presidents when it comes to feel....I've had a fair share of issues with the revo in the handful of trips I've taken since I got it.
