I wouldn't. I bought several of them to take kids fishing, and a couple of them broke. I loved the concept of the Shakespeare rod, but I was disappointed.

The rod is extremely weak, snapped in half with a 3 lb {maybe} Large Mouth Bass on it ! Saltwater fish . . . .no way!

if you catch fish the size of the sunfish ,crappie,and perch why not but no bigger

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.

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.

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, but it is very basic. You would need much more for your average fishing trip. Some would consider the 'tackle' useless.

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

This is much to light of a set up for most any salt water fishing. It's Ment for fishing streams for trout or bass.

Typically this pontoon is used in lakes and rivers but if you could get past the surf I would think you could fish salt water.Personally I think the bigger the water the bigger the vessel so ply safe.

its meant for salt water but if you are fishing for very large fish you can use it in freash water.

Yes can be used in salt water, and speedometer. Be sure to read what type of transducer if it comes with a basic transducer the downimage won't work, you need the HDI TRANSDUCER for the down image. I had to purchase a different transducer that I got at bass pro shops for around $60.

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.

I am not using it for salt water. I don,t think in respect at the way it is built that it would perform well for a long time in salt water. But for my use it is a very good reel.

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.

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

Yes, it is intended to be a salt water combo--but I would purchase rod and reel separately. See my review. -Edog1955

In my opinion, it is a little light duty for salt water, and these fish... More of a "Brookie" type of reel.. I use mine for Bass, and sunfish ...
