If you are going in the salt get a saltwater reel! The $39.95 reel will not survive in the environment. Use it once and throw it away for the corrosion issues you will see. The Okuma Integrity isn't the greatest either. Corrosion will be a problem and backing capacity is minimal. The Teton Tioga will survive the salt and do the job.
