icceman Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hello all. I'm much of a talker here kinda just enjoy the posts. But this is something that'd perked my interest. What do you guys think about using a salt water spinning real for a freshwater application. There is a sexy reel I would really like get. love to know if there is any negatives or postives Thanks.

bare foot wader Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 which reel...van stall by any chance? no issues, most saltwater gear is better built than fresh water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 No issues the saltwater reels are normally built with more corrosion resistant parts and better seals. The down side is they are usually slightly more expensive. I am using a few of the okuma saltwater series in fresh for big Catfish with no issues in 5 years.
