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 designed for salt water - will work in fresh. Would not recommend trying a free water model in salt...

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'm not sure. The package says salt water. Maybe you should look for the Gulp that is good for fresh water. I don't know if the fish know the difference.

It could be, you will need to change your reel. This reel is not for salt water use.

I never tried it in salt water, but I tried it in all kinds of fresh water and it wasn't worth putting on your line. In all different kinds of water(deep ,shallow,brush, whatever I never got one hit. Worthless!!

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.

I use mine strictly for freshwater, probably could be used for saltwater but I would not recommend it.

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.

I don't think you'd have any issues with using this on salt water in regards to if the material could handle salt. However, I would NEVER take it out into the ocean or any place with excessive waves, swells, drifts or any turbulence. It has nearly no steering, especially without the skeg. We use it on some rough lake water occasionally but its a workout to get it moving. I would not recommend taking it out into the ocean unless you want to get lost at sea.

For salt water - you will want a real that will hold a good amount of line and allow you to cast out without issues. Most small surf fish you can catch with a small freshwater reel. But you never know what you can hook into in salt water. If you fish often. Spend money on a good reel. If your just going out a few times, the Daiwa Opus will do the job.

Yes it is a good mobile fishing rod for lakes, creeks, or any place you see might have a bass or catfish in it. I would not use it in salt water for larger fish though. I have had no problems with it in the lakes I have fished and caught several bass, crappie, and catfish on it.

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

I think it's intended for freshwater, given the size of the reel (6 weight), but just like most reels nowadays, it would probably be fine in the saltwater as long as you rinse it off in freshwater at the end of the day.
