Hi Canary! It appears from the reels listed you are looking for spinning only, not level wind. For the larger reel my opinion is to seek all metal (no plastic) with stainless and brass/bronze parts. Yes, the weight is much greater but casting fatigue comes from an unbalanced combination of reel, rod and lure. For trolling or live bait that's no issue. The Saragosa, Spheros and Cabo all fit your requirements. The Cabo price is well inside your budget (and I'm prejudiced, I like it!) :-)
