Would this reel be good for saltwater corbina, shore fishing?

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 ...

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.

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.

this is a light dudy reel the drag only go's up to 15lb. so not good for bigger fish.

After owning this reel for onr year now, I got hink it would be a very suitable reel for.that rod. And.the drag system is excelent. Espciaally when dealing with salmon or trout.

I use Daiwa electric reel for deep ocean rock cods fishing, so I would know. Sorry! But it's fit perfectly for my need.

Probably not. It's a baitcaster, so when first learning, line is easily tangled on the reel. A spinning combo is much easier, and plenty of fisherman stay with them forever. Will he fish in the ocean? Then he needs it to be designed for use in salt water.

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.

I own 3 of the 30's and find them perfect for medium-light applications (trolling for crappies, small mouth bass etc) this reel is well made and has a smooth drag system... however limited spool capacity ! I think the 40 or 50 would be a better choice for you.

It will work just fine! Keep in mind what you are fishing for and always balance your rod/reel with each other...

I use it for fishing in the ocean and have been very happy with its performance. I have always used Penn reels and have always had good results with them.

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 would not use it for deep sea fishing. Being a two piece and a little light, it just won't hold up to big fish. It is okay for light pier and surf fishing.

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT

I personally wouldn't use it for surf fishing. I've casted with it for short distances but not sure how it would hold up having to cast long distances with heavy weight. The drag is not entirely adjustable so unless you are using heavy weight to keep it anchored, strong water movement has the drag clicking very often.Not to deter you from considering this reel by no means, its a great beginner reel and even though I've upgraded from it, I still use it when putting out several rods.

I use to have one of these I used for just that on the Texas coast near High Island. They are great bulletproof reels. I used this particular rig a little closer in to the beach, and some heavier outfits with more line capacity farther out. Still, have caught a lot of bull reds and smaller blacktips with this reel without problems.

Well, to expand some. Level wind reels will require maintenance to keep them in good condition due to the way they work and all the pieces/parts exposed to saltwater. I have several different sizes of Penn level winds I consistently use in saltwater for Red Snapper and Grouper with minimal if any problems. Just be sure you keep them cleaned, greased and oiled. This applies to all saltwater equipment but even more for level wind reels.

I use mine for both and have had very good use out of them, however if you use it in salt water, rinse it with fresh water oil and grease it frequently, otherwise the bearings wear out. to lube it, remove the handle , then dip the stem in grease and it will increase the life of the reel. The # of bearings really helps o the drag, and it will handle 20lb fish with positive results
