can you use this to fish in freshwater

For sure, I took mines to Lake Powell recently and it fished great. Strong pole, very smooth reel.

You probably could. All the fish I feed love it. Especially the cat fish, the carp and the crappie. The bass don't care for it though.

Yes. I am currently using it for fresh water topwater lures but it can be used for any lure of small to medium size

It probably could be used for that. I have mine in a 20 gallon freshwater tank. Its very powerful and the waterflow is a little strong. Good filter though would definitely recommend.

I guess you could, but there is no insulation in this tackle. The center pouch would be big enough to hold frozen bait.

Definitely for freshwater. I use my Defiance offshore for catching Red Snapper. This summer will be the second season I've used it and it shows no wear. I do rinse it very well with freshwater and I would recommend this reel.

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

Yes..it's ready to fish. Have to adjust settings a little. But it works great.

I wouldn't recommend this for fish its fine grain would clog up a filter system. Its geared for reptiles and such.

It's fine for salt and freshwater. I've used mine for channel cats in central Tennessee as well as a 5.5ft blacktip in the gulf.

Definitely. I have only used it for saltwater but it would serve well in freshwater too.

I have used it for saltwater. I love to catch redfish with it. So yeah. It works.

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you. There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad.

I use it exclusively for freshwater but it could be used for light saltwater - 20 lb test line.

No, it is not set up for that, fresh only. My son treated me to a Bass fishing trip in Eastern Washington state and I caught several in the 5 lb class all on this reel. It required casting a very long distance to the shore and using black sinko lure. Best fishing trip ever.

I wouldn't use it if you plan on consuming your fish. this product hasn't been approved for that.And it isn't FDA approved. i would improve my P.H and better water quality by increasing water changes, and increasing filtration. I hope this helps

Absolutely. This is a great setup and I would recommend it to anyone for light to medium fresh water fishing.
