the most i would pay for a good spinning reel is 30-40 bucks. the more expensive one are good but do not come with a life time warranty. unless things have changed and i did not know it cause paying $120 -$350 just is not needed. most of all when you fish rivers with lots of silt and fine sand in them. dunk the reel once and the reel is no good at 350 that would reelly suck to have happen. this is why i say to not spend more than 20 but a good reel i would not pay more then 40 for it. like a good Mitchel , quantum or similar try to get as smooth of one that is not all plastic. i would go to the store and try not to spend a ton is how i see it. if you fish shore or beaches same problem happens to the reels as river fishing this is why i do not suggest spending to much. but you will learn if a bass pulls it in or you drop it over board at 120 even at 40 you will learn.
try getting it with as many bearings as you can it makes the reel smooth and good same with the line buy a good casting line not trilene big game line which are stiff and cause problems . now triline xl smooth casting is the way to go. if you do not mind i will post some reels for you to look at later. maybe rods after that if needed
