As the Saltist name implies, these reels were designed for all-out serious saltwater fishing. And that means simple, straight forward mechanisms that can withstand the punishment and still work flawlessly, time after time. Like a manual bail trip for fewer moving parts-greater strength and reliability. Even a dual, full-time anti-reverse you can depend on, with no lever to accidentally turn off or snag line. Reliability and performance-that’s Saltist.

Comments about Saltist Heavy Action Spinning, 5CRBB, 1 RB, GR 6.2 : 1, 20.10 oz., 14/300, 17/220 lb Test/SAMURAI BRAID:40/440,55/330 Yds, 22.0 Max Drag:
I've only used this reel a few times so far, but it's been great. Very smooth, lightweight and holds plenty of braid. I've already dunked it a couple of times and haven't had any problem with water intrusion or anything else. I just give it a quick fresh water rinse when I get back home or the next morning and it's good to go.
