Spinning Reel Question

[Ham]

What/which salt water spinning reels have the least amount of internal parts?

[fishnfool73]

I would say the Daiwa BG series would be on the list

Penn Z series. The old reels were tanks, metal body and easy access to internals. The new spinfishers that are supposedly waterproof aren't, they're just junk.

Not sure about numbers but Quantum Cabo series is pretty simple. What kind of money you looking to spend?

"The Z Series reels are back. Simplicity...that's how it was designed 50 years ago and that's how it's proudly made today in our Philadelphia manufacturing center." (from Penn's website)

You can also still buy all the old originals too, used but still going strong, and in more sizes.
They're a little too old school for me though.

Gotta agree with Wolf, Z series are stupid simple and almost boringly reliable. With CF drag washers no less.

One of my close buddys is still using about 6 704's, half of them are now bailess, he won't give them up.
