Look for a Penn Spinfisher 6500 made in USA model
This is an all alluminium reel and spool that was last produced before the production went over to Chinese made plastics. They are bombproof and have landed some seriously big fish for anglers worldwide.
The drag is the size of a 4/0 Senator, the line roller is hardened stainless running on a bronze bearing, the anti reverse is all steel, etc.

If you cannot find one go for a Daiwa Emblem another design that has stood the test of time.
