How do they hold up to salt water?

Mine have been used in mostly salt water for the last five months. I spray them off good after each use. Have not had any problems yet. A couple of seasons will tell the whole story.

Mine have survived a few weekends going through creeks and mud. I am not sure about prolonged time submerged, but I have had them underwater for 15-20 minutes a time or two with no problem.

I use my bag for saltwater and it holds up well. The zippers are coated pretty well and I don't think they will rest. The only thing is the pull strings come off and you have to tie them back on.

I have used a couple for years in the ocean because I live near saltwater, so if they can take those conditions, i'm sure freshwater won't hurt.

Yup. They will hold up just fine. I've drop mine a few times while out in the brush. No problems at all.

I live in the Pacific NW, so I don't use them in that way - due to possible mildew. But, if they were allowed to dry out in between loads, they might hold up fairly well. They're pretty sturdy. My dog tried to eat one of them and it stood up to the Newfoundland test.

I used them on a paper calendar so I can't answer for their durability in water. I sort of doubt it. Eileen

I've not had any issues of rust so far. We use it in salt water area and it's held up fine. A quick rinse after each use seems to do the trick.

I am not using it for salt water. I don,t think in respect at the way it is built that it would perform well for a long time in salt water. But for my use it is a very good reel.

I installed these numbers about one year ago and they still look like new. I live about six miles from the ocean and get a steady ocean breeze, but I don't think there is too much salt in wind by the time it gets here.

They're fairly well sealed. I mounted mine up high where they won't be submerged, but I wouldn't hesitate to dunk them. I have faith in their ability to keep on working.

I do not remember, however, I have used them in salt water for two seasons with no issues.

Haven't gotten them wet, however I can't see them breaking, because they are super strong.

I would say water resistant, they do have a ziploc type closure at the top, but not sure if submersed it would keep out water

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.

We bought ours to use in salt water, we have only had it three months, so far so good.
