can you fish in saltwater with this

You can but the guides are kinda cheap so i would watch that area. After years of complaining about the cheap guides Shakespeare finally listened and introduced the Gx2 rods. However the ugly cat as far as i know (might wanna check) didnt get the new guides and other improvements. Rinse the rod out with freshwater as soon as you done. This rod doesnt have a lot of backbone so unless you fishing for smaller game i would go with something else.

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you. There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad.

Typically this pontoon is used in lakes and rivers but if you could get past the surf I would think you could fish salt water. Personally I think the bigger the water the bigger the vessel so ply safe.

I don't think this rod rack will work for salt water tackle. The top clips are too small for larger diameter rods and the spacing of the bottom base is too close together to get large reels to fit next to each other. I have 24 freshwater rods on mine and it works well for them

It"s perfect for salt water that was its main objective with the metals its designed with.I reeled in a couple of big reds over 20# each,no problem.Just as good in fresh water.Hope that helps.

According to the manufacturer's literature it can be used in saltwater with the recommendation that it be rinsed in fresh water after every use. Personally I wouldn't since the moving parts aren't designed for that heavy usage and the reel is enclosed. A casting reel would be more what you'd want unless you plan to use this reel just one season. There are more than a couple plastic parts in this fine spincast reel.

Have used in saltwater but with lighter lures. Most of my use has been freshwater for muskellunge. Deals with 20 to 30 lb fish effectively. My lure of choice is virtually always on the lighter side and does not include the traditional large Muskie baits.

Never been salt water fishing but I would imagine you would need a pole with a little more strength than this one. Very nice pole for fresh water fishing. My son took this one from me so I will need to buy me another one soon.

I have alread fished 30kg fish with no problem it will depend on the line. I only fish in fresh water so I would not know if is also good for salt water.

It is not designed for salt water so you will need to rinse it off with fresh water after every use. They are definitely strong enough to handle the fish you are after.

I think it's intended for freshwater, given the size of the reel (6 weight), but just like most reels nowadays, it would probably be fine in the saltwater as long as you rinse it off in freshwater at the end of the day.

Probably not. It's a baitcaster, so when first learning, line is easily tangled on the reel. A spinning combo is much easier, and plenty of fisherman stay with them forever. Will he fish in the ocean? Then he needs it to be designed for use in salt water.

This model is a light duty spinning reel. It is meant for small game fish like bluegills, crappie, small bass or trout. I don't know how well it would stand up to salt water use. My guess is that since it is a modestly priced reel, the internal parts are not brass or stainless steel which would resist corrosion. I don't know how large corbina are so I can't say if this reel is adequate. I would consider a reel specifically made for saltwater use.

I do not fish salt water.....A fish is a fish in salt or fresh water.....Seems to me it would work on the proper fish...don't try it on a 200 pound shark!!

The rod, perhaps, although anything more than a couple of pounds would be a challenge. The reel is not a saltwater reel and will likely not hold up well if used routinely for saltwater fishing. Occasional use, if followed with a thorough rinse in fresh water and proper lubrication would probably be OK. If you want something for routine saltwater usage, I would not recommend this. If you want something packable and portable, for pond and creek fishing for panfish, trout and bass up to a few pounds, this is a good choice.

Yes. I used it all the time, for salt water, used 18§ test line. Pull 20 lbs.reds all day long, sheephead, kingfish, and. macroe..
