i would not use it for that at all , just to play with it in the sea may be ok but will not take a lot of waves I seen that after being out on my boat with it

Using the boats in the ocean depending on the water conditions is ok, but not going through waves. You would want to find the calmest portion to launch your boat to get it out. In the sea, you need to clean the boat with freshwater after use and oil the metal parts with WD 40 or some oil. Then its recommended to use Hatch Tape, or some kind of tape to seal the hatch. You could also search YouTube, for rc surf fishing boat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNVEUA6GQO0

I bought it for fishing off my dock in the intercostal waters of Daytona, FL. If you're looking for distance, you might want to look another direction -- but for pinpoint accuracy and consistency this rod has worked out great for me. I cast artificial lures and have had zero problems reeling in 3-5 Seatrout and Redfish.

Thats what I bought it for and it works great. As with anything used in salt water, be sure to rinse it good with clean water at the end of the day. I have thrown lures as heavy as 7ozs. and the rod performs well.

This is a heavyweight pole with a below average reel. I like the pole as a class for medium sharking, 5-7 footers. It has alot of backbone for a surf type pole. But the reel is light for its size and might be okay for flounder seatrout etc. Hope this helps.

I've had it for about a year now and used it in with saltwater fishing and no issues to date

No it isn't suited for use in or around salt water. It's a very durable unit and all that but the conductivity of saltwater requires a detector designed to handle that application specifically. I have used mine on the beaches around where I live. That must be above the tide line in soil and rocky areas well above the brackish water table and it works well for that. As soon as you find salt water within the detection limits of the unit you are bound to have problems.

I would say yes but watch out for the wind!!! It can blow you all over. I use mine on a river float fishing and can maneuver great in the calm flat parts in front of my camper. Just watch the wind lol. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend it for land although you can still hear the music, the sound quality is not very good. The sound is much better under or in water. I tried using it while surfing last week and it really did no good. Plus I was afraid of losing it in a big wave. Hope this helps.

This product would be good for moderate wave action --- I use prescription sea sickness patches for rough seas.

Pam, I would not recommend this pole for the ocean, it is only for small fish...stick to small lakes and ponds with this pole!

For me? ABF-90 is perfect for deep sea fishing. Most of my catch over 30lb and up, Cobia, Bull Red, Black drum, Black grouper, King Mac. Never have any problem with it. Just taking good care of it after the end each trip. Like; wash the salt water off and oil it

surf fishing you want to cast as far out there as possible ,though this is a great cast reel a level wind reel may slow down the spool to cast far but it is very doable and a good real

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 ...

First, let's establish the fact that this rod is only good for fishing from a boat in ocean waters or the sound. The reel can take on anything. The rod is only 7ft tall so you can't get good distance if fishing from shore. Dogfish are no match for this rod and reel, no matter how big. I only use this rod and reel when going to the sound or ocean looking for big fish

I've never used it saltwater fishing but I would think it would work fine because you are using it on the hook and not the fish.

I personally wouldn't use it for surf fishing. I've casted with it for short distances but not sure how it would hold up having to cast long distances with heavy weight. The drag is not entirely adjustable so unless you are using heavy weight to keep it anchored, strong water movement has the drag clicking very often.Not to deter you from considering this reel by no means, its a great beginner reel and even though I've upgraded from it, I still use it when putting out several rods.
