Spheros isn't sealed. It's a decent reel but I prefer the Penn 6500SS! The SS wasn't made to get dunked, that’s why the 706Z was never discontinued. A little imagination some EP grease (not alot) and some felt washers and you can help make your SS reels last the night in the suds as long as your not cranking under water. You don't want to pack the SS reels with grease... that’s a no-no, binding and mysterious instant reverse are not things you want when battling a big fish.
