My old Okuma Coronado was a decent reel but finally started seizing up on me last trip. I used it for years and soaked it in saltwater tons of times. I just looked and you can still order the newer style. I don't know if they're still as good.

What's your favorite reel for wading the surf?

Ice cream conditions see me using a modern, wide spool, ABU 6000 with 15lb test mated to a 8ft Allstar rod...never know when Mr. Jack or even a Ling will pay a visit at the second sand bar.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBLbrJxGtro
Not that much different than a Karankawa indian hunting the shallows at night with a torch and a spear.

The best reel made? I think so.Originally posted by smooth moveold green curado 200
Do it. As long as you clean it up from time to time, it will be fine. I am going on 2 years. I just rinse it and oil regularly. Its a great reel. And for the $, you can't beat it. If it does lock up, no big loss.Originally posted by GHSmacker View PostI'm seriously thinking about getting some of those H2O's for fishing the surf so that my good reels don't get jacked up from the suds. I've heard the reels are good and of I trash one, I won't shed a tear.
