I think I'd try to retrofit an existing reel- a Z series, SS , Shimano, Diawa etc with good seals or machine a body and rotor that has room for all the running gear from one of those reels and good sealed bearings. Like Accurate did with Squidders-

Not that's a idea. Instead of building a $300.00 dunk proof reel, why not just build an after market "conversion kit" for an existing reel. The "conversion" may have to be done in a shop. I.e., instead of re-inventing the wheel, just modify and enhance it.

People make after market parts for cars, so why not reels? Humm...
