can this reel be used for salt water

That is the only place I use it. I do take out the spool and wash the whole reel every time I use it. I have been using it for two years and no signs of rust, looks good as new. However, I would wash it every time.

Definately. I have fished 4 times for multiple days in salt water with no corrosion problems. The graphite body and arbor do not react to salt water. I always thoroughly rinse the reel in fresh water after each trip.resh water after each outing.

Can be used for small salt water species. Make sure you clean reel after each use. I used them for years flounder fishing in New England.

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.

The motor is not built for salt water. That being said, when I use it for salt water I simply flush it out in fresh water directly afterward. I will clean it completely and rinse it very thoroughly. I have never had a problem.

I have only used it in freshwater, but don't see why it wouldn't work in saltwater. There is only a small bit of metal shaft that holds the propellers, and if rust is a concern than rinse it off after use. It will get wet inside during use, so have paper towel inside to absorb.

It could be, you will need to change your reel. This reel is not for salt water use.

I don't think you'd have any issues with using this on salt water in regards to if the material could handle salt. However, I would NEVER take it out into the ocean or any place with excessive waves, swells, drifts or any turbulence. It has nearly no steering, especially without the skeg. We use it on some rough lake water occasionally but its a workout to get it moving. I would not recommend taking it out into the ocean unless you want to get lost at sea.

Yes, I have used mine in both salt and fresh water. I just rinse it off good after use in salt water! This has been a great trolling motor.

I use it for fishing in the ocean and have been very happy with its performance. I have always used Penn reels and have always had good results with them.

I'm not sure, but it is a quality Stainless unit. I would have no problem using it in salt water.

This is a great saltwater reel. I use it for slow jigging. So far 12lb snapper are not a problem.

In my opinion, it is a little light duty for salt water, and these fish... More of a "Brookie" type of reel.. I use mine for Bass, and sunfish ...

No it can not be used in salt water, it works excellent but if you bow mount it you have to turn the control head around on the shaft this info is not in the instruction they asume you are useing it on the transum of the boat.

I've used mine in saltwater since the day I bought it. That was almost a year ago. I just rinse it very well when I get home. This motor works perfectly on my little skiff!
