I was wondering what brand of spinning reels you have had the longest service from. Many folks swear by daiwa but I haven't had the greatest luck from them. Them won't stop working they just get rough feeling when you crank them even though I go through them one a year. I have shimano symetre reels that are probably 15 years old and are flawless still.

I have had the best service out of shimano and pflueger reels. Others that i haven't used are penn and okuma. I also haven't used quantum reels in 20 years. How are the quality of those reels now? Quantum reels never impressed me but many people swear by them and the penn reels too. What about the revo spinning reels, are they as awesome as the revo casting reels?
