It is true that I am not the best for nurturing my kit but my boss
Accurate Boss Magnum reels at Anglers Center is as sweet as a nut after 10 years of abuse & zero maintenance! Definitely not for casting though.
My other reel that has lasted & will cast is a daiwa 550 reverse cone fixed spool, not sure exactly the model name, "big pit" maybe, but I have used it from my boats for 12+ years.
