My wife has 3 of the Zebco saltwater spinning reels. One is 5 years old and the other 2 are 2 years old. They are made for saltwater, they may have some of the push button ones that are also.

I started mine with the zebco spinning reels...Never had a problem with them....That was years ago and I still use them when I have a "rookie" fishing with me...

Daiwa makes a gold reel for about 50 bucks. Medium size is good reel.

Nic's a really little guy.............I ended up w/ a 33 on 6' rod combo...........it's all metal, some stainless parts(according to package) Looks nice enough........I'll know by tomorrow.........Eman, you should have mentioned the line thing earlier........If it breaks, I'll respool it on the water........Think I'll go get an 808 for the wife next time, thanks again!! Tim
