I'm just catching up with this thread, and i noticed that you have already decided on a reel, but for future reference here's my take on the Lew's Inshore as opposed to others.

The Inshore reels have 3 drain holes built in to them in the event you dunk them in the water (Not an issue if you only fish out of a boat) wade fishing the surf, they are going to get saltwater in them at some point, another feature that i really like, they have also have a small trap door at the bottom of the main drive gear that you can remove with 1 small Phillips screw for additional flushing and lubricating.

I have two of them, probably caught well over 200 fish on each of them last year, and never had an issue. We shall see what this year brings.

For spinning reels I like the Penn spinfisher 5. For bait caster I like shimano curados. Just like anything in the world care and maintenence goes a long way. Ardent reel cleaning kits are nice for the amateur. It can become sort of an obsession, cleaning them reels.

Spinning reels suck. If you wanna catch some specks be sure to get a S H I M A N O reel... shimano shimano if you get an abu it might rust up. A bit of advice I learned if you got a fishin reel it's probably made by shimano or Abu garcia or diawa all them Bass Pro Shops in xtreme pro PSXPS whatever all that stuff is made by diawa its junk too. Shimano is useually good for salt water when others go to [censored]

Try the H2O Mettle's to start with. $60-$70 You will be surprised at these reels.
10 SS ball bearing, easy to clean. I have a few of them and have no complaints and I
spool up 20# mainline too.
