My last ones shite out on me. I want one that has SS ball bearings so I can bring it in saltwater. I don't want to spend more then $50. Any cheap reels y'all like?

Cheap baitcasters don't last, in my experience. Especially in saltwater. Spend $50 now and every other year or spend the money up front and get something that will last. Calcutta GTB ftw.

Well, it's more than $50, but the BPS pro qualifier is a good one that isn't too expensive.

Put a little oil in em after every few outings and even the cheaper ones should last at least a little while.

H20 Mettle for that price range. I love mine, have had it for almost 2 years now with no issues.

You need to spend more than $50.

If the primary use is going to be salt water, you can use a spinning reel for 90% of that. $50 will get you a much better spinning reel than baitcast reel.

Edit: I'm a dumbass who was calling a spinning reel a spin cast.
