It mostly depends on how much you fish. Once or twice a month any of those Walmart reels will last a while. But if you fish like I do they wont last a year. I bought a shimano Calyx from Walmart back in the srping about 60 to 70 bucks cant remember exaclty but its now out of service . I used it about 5 days a week. The worm gear started to freeze up piling all the line in one spot. Then finally just quit all togetther. The moral is if you fish alot. Spend as much as you can afford on a reel, and stay away from Wal-Mart. Diawa and Shimano make some reels specifically for them and dont even feature those on their website. Go with the name brands cuz when it comes to baitcasters ya get what ya pay for.
