[QUOTE="shawnfish, post: 369956, member: 4468"] ok i may have read it wrong.... but your dead wrong about any cheap real is going to fall apart right away, I had some very cheap reels(like the 20-25 buck ones today) that were bought for me when I was very young and they lasted over ten years before they got donated.I still have two of them now some 30yrs later that I taught my boys how to cast with(then became their first reels) and they work fine to this day because they were taken care of and not abused(by ubused I mean left on the ground, dragged through the mud and sand) and were cleaned every winter and believe me they were used 3-4 times a week for years and years and recently(07 to 14) used 3-5 times a week and still work the same.... if I were him I would watch ebay since winters coming because if you look every day it wont take too long to find a steal. example, I bought a new in the box with the papers gen 2 revo stx for 70 bucks that I keep in my truck in case I want to fish for a bit from the bank... even a 50 dollar abu black max2 or comparable spinning reel will be more than enough reel for his skill level and will last years and years with proper care....
