Pros Excellent saltwater beginner angler or weekend warrior Many reel models (sizes) available High line capacity Strong materials for solid reel (can handle high abuse) Cons Heavier weight Reel body is not sealed (may need to oil after submerging reel) What is the Life Span of these inexpensive Spinning Reels

Its like precious metals and diamonds and that type of thing

The advantage of such a design is that the reel is direct-driven, and during casting the line release is as smooth as that of a spinning reel, but it does require an extra hand movement to start reeling

The waterproof or water-resistant benefit of a sealed system is also desirable, especially in situations where it is likely that water will come into contact with the reel, such as rock or surf fishing
