Which spinning reel is most durable?

[tears143]

In the price range of up to $100 and doing maintenance as following...
Rinse the reel after every trip and oil every year.

What reel do you guy think will win?

I own quite a few and some of them break so fast... lasting less than a year with rinsing after every trip and before I can get to oil them... here's my list that I know probably won't last a year...
Okuma avenger baitrunner - drag burn out
Okuma coronado baitrunner - starts to not retrieve correctly, stickly
Daiwa samurai - LOL my freshwater one... die so fast

Here are the one that I own, I know will last..
Penn battle

Those one should be in the price range or just above it.

Looking for a small one for some macks, 3-4k reels.

Daiwa BG series Shimano Spheros are both tough to beat

Answers are subjective and not objective, it may be different for different people. In the opening post it was stated oiling once a year, I do it more often than that for saltwater. I've got top preface my opinion first by saying that it really depends on what one's own requirements are, I say that because of what I see other fisherman using. I know a guy fishes most everyday for meat, uses a Mitchell 60 year old freshwater reel, bass sized with 20# mono (cares less about line management), that 2 people need to crank the handle, yet he catches some great fish and as happy as can be, that's the best of his outfits.

I own about 12 inshore outfits, various brands and well maintained. With the exception of 1 brand every reel at one time has needed some kind of repair, that being 2 stradics, 2 spheros, daiwa tierra, quantum cabo and 5 abu sorons and a penn conquer. The repairs for the most part have not been serious, from broken bail arms, bad bail springs, bad line stacking that could not be shimmed and reels getting that geary feeling. Not saying any are bad reels, just they require attention now and then. Only my pfluegers are as smooth as they day I bought them and never have seen a service shop, they get oiled and that's it. I have no real favorite, they each perform their function, that said there are brands that in the future I might shy away from.

I think the bg is the tank of the list. Just about the same reel for 20+ years. Can be heavily abused and still work.
