Spinning reel under $50 that will last forever and wont have to worry about it fraying line?

[Esox pro]

Im looking for a spinners reel under $50 that I wont have to worry about fraying or nicking line that will last me forever and holds anywhere from 75-100 yrds of 12 lbs mono

[MN Fisher]

Ummm - good luck on that. My Trions retail for around $40 and while they're well made and I enjoy using them...I don't expect a lifetime of service from them...and I'm 60, so lifetime is a relative thing.

Pflueger President on eBay. Try to find a wood handled one if you can.

Also I amusing 12 lbs main line fluorocarbon and need a reel that holds a good amount but not an extreme amount 

Also I amusing 12 lbs main line fluorocarbon and need a reel that holds a good amount but not an extreme amount fish i target mainly are bass pike, pickerel,catfish and carp and around here the trout season i dread pre and post ice

Thank you for the quick replies i have an ugly stik with the reel and its on its way out

If lures matter i mainly use senkos and live bait

Pflueger Trion, but even with the best care, it won't last "forever."

Double-down on that. I have a Trion 30...on a Medium/Fast rod. Probably my most used spinning rig.

If you can get $10 more, get the Daiwa Regal LT for $59.95.

[Esox pro]

Shimando what is the spool capacity 

[RoLo]

 

$31 - Probably not, what you had in mind  ?  (jk)

ive got a pflueger trion and president that are 15 years old. i still use them both. never had a problem with either of them. 

 i just got a new trion a few months ago. we'll see if that reel will last that long. 

[Maxximus Redneckus]

Shimano sienna 1000 ....keep it mantained should last a while ....if u want a lifetime....better go with a penn 722z

[greentrout]

 

good fishing ...

Trion it is sorry about the delay the website has been trying to get me to yoe in a signature then say it goes against guidelines 

[dodgeguy]

I would never use 12 lb flouro on a spinning reel. Way to heavy a line for that.

[Esox pro]

Dodgeguy its worked fine and i have caught numerous big fish as long as you do the hot water trick and spool correctly

It's like people saying "Don't use higher than 8# Yo-Zuri on spinning reels". I had 10# on my Trion-30 last year, used KVD and had no issues. The 10# is now on my Trion-35.

I got a 1000 yrd spool of seaguar red label 12 lb test for $25 or $30 though I’ve noticed the remaining line on the spool is nicked and frayed and I asked about a replacement spool they said send proof of purchase which i sent a while ago and now i dont get responses any ideas ps sorry if this is off topic its a problem i have though like i said if you have the thing the guy in the video has which i do along with the hot water trick makes it work great

KVD Line and Lure is the only thing I do. I'm sure its fine to dunk the spool but I'm simply not a fan of dunking anything or getting water into any parts of a reel purposefully.

 

If you choose to dunk the spool, just make sure to remove the drag stack first and fully dry that area prior to reassembly.

The way I heard it explained, you dunk the plastic spool the line is sold on, then you spool it up on the reel.

Don't forget about the daiwa Revros LT.

Its right at $50 retail and can be found for less online. Its a nice reel for the money.

I'd take a Revros over a President or Trion any day of the week. I own all 3 and the Revros performs well above it's price tag. It's outlasted my Supreme XT I bought at the same time in fact. The new Pfluegers just aren't what they use to be.
