We use these reels they have proven durable enough,
Another feature is the spool will slightly click as the line slips off,
Very inexspensive under 50$
This brand u only flip the lever once. Once the reel is set and the line begins slipping off the spool you just start cranking.

I like these very much for those I take out who aren't familiar with spinning reels,
There is no guess work on closing the bail
