lookinforwalleye Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I would think the main difference would be the inerds would be corrosion resistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmeh Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I would think the main difference would be the inerds would be corrosion resistant. Yep, but not just the inside parts. Different materials and/or finishing to prevent the salt damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had an ID here for a while, but haven't been compelled to post anything yet. As to your question, some high-end saltwater reels have a 'sealed' drag system, with a rubber washer that keeps the brine out of your gears. However, I have fished many, many hours in saltwater with gear that was only ever intended for fresh. Mind you, I was very meticulous about cleaning my gear after each use, and I used a lubricant that was saltwater repellent. I would assume that you are asking because you will be doing some fishing in the salt. If this is the case, I would just use the gear that you've got, and clean it thoroughly the same day that you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwpowell Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Well truth be told, I was looking on the bass pro website thinking about purchasing a new reel, or two and noticed the salt water section apart from the freshwater and saw a lot of nice reels in the saltwater section.

Yeah, well that would be the other difference! High quality drags, all-metal, and so on. Go for the Saltiga! lol. The Diawa Tierra is a nice affordable reel with a sealed drag, all-metal, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwpowell Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Looks nice doubledigits but I am more partial to Penn or Shimano reels, I've never tried any diawa reels except for the $29 combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
