Can this rod be used in saltwater?

I only use it for freshwater fishing. It is a strong and firm rod with good feel for fish bites. I don't know anything about saltwater fishing but would think it could be used. If you are looking for a strong but light touch rod, it is great.

Ive used it in fresh and saltwater. Caught a flounder and some dogfish head "sharks" actually. I just wash it down with freshwater after to be safe. Should do the same with reels after saltwater use

I bought this for my husband, he said you may use it in saltwater as long as you flush it out with fresh water after each use.

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 plan to use mine for redfish and sea trout when we go to our winter place in Texas. I rinse my reals thoroughly after each use in salt and have never had a problem. This reel should work fine. I've been using mine in fresh and love it. Tight lines. Gary

I have this installed for my fresh water wash down option on my 21' Seapro...It worked in a Salt Water environment all last season but I don't know about its actual use for saltwater.

Sorry, but I don't understand your question. This rod will work for most species of big game fish you're likely to encounter in salt water within the designated line class, if that helps.

Probably. I only ran mine in a freshwater lake, however. Not sure how saltwater may affect the motor or other mechanism.

I don't think this rod rack will work for salt water tackle. The top clips are too small for larger diameter rods and the spacing of the bottom base is too close together to get large reels to fit next to each other. I have 24 freshwater rods on mine and it works well for them

I have not used it in saltwater. I think it is aluminum and plastic. I personally would want something beefier for saltwater. I think a little salt might gum it up. Hopefully someone will weigh in with first hand knowledge. It is a good product for its price point. Fly shop folks do not recommend it for saltwater.

No! This knife is made of carbon steel and will rust. There are other versions of this same knife such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/Mora-Companion-Stainless-Steel-Fixed/dp/B004ZAIXSC/ref=pd_sim_sg_8 ) in stainless that would be much better suited for use around salt water.

Yes. This reel can be used in fresh water or salt, I have had no problems with this reel, just keep in mind that if you use it in salt water make sure to use fresh water to rince it off, it will last a life time.

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

Yes, it is intended to be a salt water combo--but I would purchase rod and reel separately. See my review. -Edog1955

It can but the one for salt water has different seal that can handle the salt if you rinse it aff after use in salt water it would be ok

Honestly I'm not sure. I've got it on a fresh-water lake. The mechanism underneath is a steel bar with plastic paddles and plastic rudder, so it may work alright in salt water if you take it out after use and oil the steel parts periodically.

According to the manufacturer's literature it can be used in saltwater with the recommendation that it be rinsed in fresh water after every use. Personally I wouldn't since the moving parts aren't designed for that heavy usage and the reel is enclosed. A casting reel would be more what you'd want unless you plan to use this reel just one season. There are more than a couple plastic parts in this fine spincast reel.

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.
