For my inexpensive spinning reels, I've liked the Shimano Sedona line.  The 5000 size one is pretty inexpensive at around 80 bucks.  I relubed mine with waterproof grease before its first trip, but not sure if that's necessary.  I use a 3000 size for some lighter duty stuff and it takes some abuse.

the 2016 Daiwa bg is the answer here.  They're around 100-130 bucks.  They are bigger than comparably numbered penns and shimanos so go by line capacity and reel weight when choosing.

frame of reference:
I have the 4000, 4500, and 5000.  I also have the slammer 4500 and the Daiwa Fuego 3000, both of those are "more sealed" on paper, but my daiwa 5000 BG has seen more use on the kayak and party boats than both of those combined.  Yet its still in great shape.  Its been dunked, sprayed, and dropped in the sand and surf.  still works like a champ.  I have 300 yards of 40# and 150 yards of 50# on mine for size reference.

Penn Wrath 8000: https://www.pennfishing.com/products/wrath-reel-1505208?variant=34036290650252

Buy it here for only 40$:  https://www.hifishgear.com/collections/spinning-reels/products/penn-wrath-spinning-reel  Free shipping at 100$, or can also use coupon SHAKA5 to get 5% off.  Yes, they are in Hawaii, but i've been buying stuff from them for a few months now, including a 12ft snare rod, shipped to me for free, and no issues at all.
