can this reel be used for blue and bass fishing in salt water

Yes. This reel can be used in fresh water or salt, I have had no problems with this reel, just keep in mind that if you use it in salt water make sure to use fresh water to rince it off, it will last a life time.

i would say its a little on the big side for that you ought to look for a low profile bait caster

Yes, but it could also be used for stillfishing/live bait as well. if you prefer live bait fishing the Shimano Baitrunner series might be a good choice, or one of the Okuma baitfeeder reels (Avenger, Coronado or Epixor).

Yes, but it is designed for freshwater. You should probably get a more sturdy reel for saltwater fishing.

The rod, perhaps, although anything more than a couple of pounds would be a challenge. The reel is not a saltwater reel and will likely not hold up well if used routinely for saltwater fishing. Occasional use, if followed with a thorough rinse in fresh water and proper lubrication would probably be OK. If you want something for routine saltwater usage, I would not recommend this. If you want something packable and portable, for pond and creek fishing for panfish, trout and bass up to a few pounds, this is a good choice.

It"s perfect for salt water that was its main objective with the metals its designed with.I reeled in a couple of big reds over 20# each,no problem.Just as good in fresh water.Hope that helps.

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.

I prefer larger "round" baitcasters for that task, although this one has a little bit larger spool than many low profile reels, so it is good with 14lb mono or 20lb braid. Although it's not really made for salt, it should be OK if you are meticulous about cleaning it afterwards.

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

That should be able to do that no problem. I was casting in Jetty Park Florida and was using some very heavy lead sinkers, I'd say around a ounce in total weight. I have a Okuma Avenger spinning reel the second biggest one I could get and had 35 pound braid on it, and had no issues. I'd imagine with the right reel, and proper line, you'd have no problem casting those weights.

You can cast this reel but it is best used to troll for larger fish, as I do for salmon out of Humboldt Bay in Eureka California. I own three of these reels and find them durable and a great bargain for the price. I have owned them going on four seasons without a problem. Keep them oiled and release the drag over the winter and these should last a long time.

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

No, it does not.For what it's worth, my experience with the "level wind" feature on certain reels suggests they do not work well when used in a salt water environment. The salt accumulates inside the level wind mechanism and causes myriad problems, which usually present themselves when you are trying to land a large fish. In my opinion, no salt water reels should have a level wind feature except for those which sit, polished and pretty, on some "sportsman's" shelves.

Probably not. It's my understanding that salt water reels are generally bigger and strong enough you could tow a car if you set the drag high enough. This reel, while great, has a plastic spool and plastic gears inside so I would not trust it with some of the larger stronger salt water fish. I wouldn't be concerned about saltwater touching the reel itself because sure, you could just rinse it off, but I have also gotten sand in this thing and it has been fine so that isn't the issue, it's that this reel is not strong enough to handle ocean fish.

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.

DON'T KNOW too far away from ocean. I would get the biggest reel I could get with large line capasity

Yes,a great reel,40s we fish salt water fish like red fish from 4 pounds up to 25 pound with power pro 40 pound test.Very smooth reel casting also reeling them In with no problem.I know you will love this reel.

I would not by this set . The reel is of very poor quality. It does not take medium duty line and it tangles. You would be spending time trying to undo the tangles instead of fishing.
