Is this good for saltwater (surf/pier) fish?

I've never used it saltwater fishing but I would think it would work fine because you are using it on the hook and not the fish.

Yes. The usable depth of the hook remover in a fish's mouth is 3-3/4", so it should be fine for most surf/pier fish. However, be sure to definitely rinse it in fresh water after using it in saltwater so parts of it don't rust.

Don't know I think it's steel and not stainless. You might try finding one that is aluminum or stainless steel. It however is very useful for removing deep hooks without hurting the fish too bad. I think mustad makes an aluminum one

I do not fish salt water.....A fish is a fish in salt or fresh water.....Seems to me it would work on the proper fish...don't try it on a 200 pound shark!!

Never been salt water fishing but I would imagine you would need a pole with a little more strength than this one. Very nice pole for fresh water fishing. My son took this one from me so I will need to buy me another one soon.

I bought the 11' rod for salt water surf casting. Personally, I would NOT want to use this rod for fresh water (constant) casting. It's a very nice rod, and if you are used to using one that size, you might like this one.

This is a great saltwater reel. I use it for slow jigging. So far 12lb snapper are not a problem.

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.

The hummingbird works especially well how did Galveston Bay. You will have absolutely no problem using this in salt water. You will be quite impressed by this fishfinders ability.

Yes, it should do a good job. However, I don't know if it is resistant to salt water corrosion. You might want to clean it off and dry it before you put it back in storage.

It is made out of Stainless Steel so yes it is made for salt water. It will not rust and is of a standard size for most if not all fishing rods.

I bought these for use in south Fla salt water. They're stainless with plastic grips. They seem rust-free, but it's only been a few months. Rinse with fresh water if you can to prevent surface pitting. Line cutting is no problem. They might be a little short for removing swallowed hooks on larger fish. Tip of pliers is notched for split ring manipulation, but teeth further along will grab hooks. Nice lanyard. Good luck. Hope this post is not too late.

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.

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 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 you would use this for bottom fishing in ocean. You would want a level wind real which makes your line go back and forth . ABu Garcia makes great reals for salmon.

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.

This rod is for inshore salt water application. I have it matched with daiwa 300 low profile reel for bottom fishing at Caribbean when we had no luck for trolling for marlin. Quite good for grouper. It is too heavy for bass fishing, I believe.

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

I don't use it in salt water. I am not sure if it is compatible or not. Recommend you check Minn Kota website.
