Yes, this reel is awesome. You can not go wrong from anything made by Okuma...

It is not designed for salt water so you will need to rinse it off with fresh water after every use. They are definitely strong enough to handle the fish you are after.

I cant see why not, just need to wash it well after each use (ie: rinse). I have only used in Lake Michigan, but you might want to look on Okuma website?

This is intended for marine fish. You would be best served with something formulated specificly for fresh water fish.

No it is not designed for removing salt from sea water. That is a different style and much more expensive.

We bought ours to use in salt water, we have only had it three months, so far so good.

This model is a light duty spinning reel. It is meant for small game fish like bluegills, crappie, small bass or trout. I don't know how well it would stand up to salt water use. My guess is that since it is a modestly priced reel, the internal parts are not brass or stainless steel which would resist corrosion. I don't know how large corbina are so I can't say if this reel is adequate. I would consider a reel specifically made for saltwater use.

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

Yes... That's what I use them for. There good for both salt and freshwater.

No it isn't suited for use in or around salt water. It's a very durable unit and all that but the conductivity of saltwater requires a detector designed to handle that application specifically. I have used mine on the beaches around where I live. That must be above the tide line in soil and rocky areas well above the brackish water table and it works well for that. As soon as you find salt water within the detection limits of the unit you are bound to have problems.

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.

I have not tried it on the deep salt water yet. I will be going deep salt water fishing in a couple of months.

I have only used it in freshwater, but don't see why it wouldn't work in saltwater. There is only a small bit of metal shaft that holds the propellers, and if rust is a concern than rinse it off after use. It will get wet inside during use, so have paper towel inside to absorb.

it can be used for salt or fresh water, I have used mine in both, very good real and rod combo

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

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you. There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad.

Im noy sure if this is the right food for a salt water fish. I only have fresh water fish.

I would think you could use it with salt water since all internal working parts that the salt water can come into contact with is plastic.

Yes, I have used mine in both salt and fresh water. I just rinse it off good after use in salt water! This has been a great trolling motor.
