A well serviced selection of reels with bushings not bearings are the way to go with a kayak...that is unless your brother in law owns a reel repair business and you want to keep the family happy.
When I first started yakkin i brought my leverdrag ball bearing reels but they all needed new bearings shortly.
I then went retro and used only penn jig masters and have never had a problem since.As long as you have some good drag washers and rinse them off these reels will work for ever....bought the ones i have and still use just after high school.......in 76.At 35 bucks these reels have cost me less then a penny a fish......way less if you count bait.
what ever you buy ...buy american,we really don't need to be sending more money west do we?
