You basically have two choices, a sealed reel like a VS or Zeebass or an unsealed reel. With the unsealed reels there are two types, a "modern" one with a ton of ball or roller bearings to fail, or a simpler maintainable reel like a penn 700 series or possibly a black and gold daiwa. They only have a few bearings and rely more on bushings and lubrication. You can take the cover offf a Penn in a couple of minutes and oil or grease it. If you fish several times a week a VS is pretty cheap per trip after a year.
