Reels weren't built to get abuse.
Reels build to their own specification, don't over load the reel build to handle 12lb mono with 65lb braid then catch 30lb fishes all year long, that how you abuse it.
Remember maintenance your reels at least 1/yr
The more ball bearing, the more complicate, more complicate ---> more maintenance.
Every brand name has low end to high end reels.
If you say okuma or shimano or daiwa...etc.. Is a junk, please name the year & model, don’t confuse people by lump them together.
And most of all for god shake.....you pay for what you get.
What's else did I miss ?
