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 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 use this food for salt water fish so I think it would be better to check with a pet store. Sorry.

Definately. I have fished 4 times for multiple days in salt water with no corrosion problems. The graphite body and arbor do not react to salt water. I always thoroughly rinse the reel in fresh water after each trip.resh water after each outing.

I use my reel in fresh water and catch pan fish I can't really speak about salt water sorry. The reel is smooth and the drag is good.

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.

No, it can't be used for salt water. Desalination is a much more complicated process that can't be achieved in a device of this size or at this cost. You'd want to follow methods describe online (in an emergency situation) to get the salt content removed from the water first. Then use this product to drink with to remove the impurities.

It will work in both fresh and salt water. I have it with African cichlids right now and they love the current.

Although I have never used it in a salt water application (I use mine to determine how much FRESH water I put in my RV's holding tank) my LIMITED research doesn't show that it can't be used for salt water (sorry about the double negative). One question asked about using the device for HEATED (90°C) salt water, which was recommended against; however, I believe that was a TEMPERATURE recommendation, not a water type recommendation. Like anything else, I think you would need to flush the meter out when your done so the salt doesn't dry inside the system. Good luck!

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

I have no exprerience with salt water. I would read marketing materials or contact manufacturer..Good luck...

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.

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

I use it for freshwater fishing. As far as I know if it's for saltwater, it's good to use it for freshwater too, but not the other way around.

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.
