Zebco makes long lasting ones. I got a 33 classic, old but still kicking.
Grew up with closed button Zebco reels. They are the king of closed face spin casting. They are designed as a good reel for the man on a budget. Will last forever if you take care of them. Easy to use and impossible (or almost) to back lash (birds nest). it is a great beginners reel. Never thought I would spend $100.00 for a Zebco. Did and love it. Wife used it and we now have two of them. Model name is Bullet. The other models I would buy today are 33 and 66. You can do no wrong with a Zebco reel.
