Bill, I agree the new closed face spinning reels are made cheaply and do not last as long as the older models. My wife also fishes with these types and prefers the one with the trigger system that is mounted below the reel casing. There is a few made that should handle the line u want but remember the drag system allows for using low poundage line. Now I am just thinking u can get her a new reel every year for your anniversary smile I will usually get a new one most every year for my lady, it helps to keep me in good graces and I need all the help I can get smile and they are usually less than 30 or 40 bucks. that cheaper than a mink coat

Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
