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

I use it for terminal tackle for Salt Water fishing. Cutter is great but I don't like the teeth of the pliers. They do not line up perfectly so you can not grab thin fishing line (especially braid) if you are trying to cinch a knot.

I would have to say yes, especially if you use a 30 to 50# braid and a good floro leader. Happy Fishing!

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.

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.

This rod is for inshore salt water application. I have it matched with daiwa 300 low profile reel for bottom fishing at Caribbean when we had no luck for trolling for marlin. Quite good for grouper. It is too heavy for bass fishing, I believe.

I bought mine for my hobby of model rocketry. It works great, I imagine it would work good for fishing as we'll.

I have never used it in salt water, I suppose it could be used, my first thought would be the same as fishing reels. When I use rods and reels in salt water I always make an effort to clean and flush with fresh water prior to storing them. The metal frame would certainly be exposed to salt water, and would rust if neglected. The pontoons would fair much better, but would clean them as well after use in salt water.

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.

Not usually unless it is offered as a combo. It is a great rod for catching saltwater bait around oyster bars when you cannot throw a net. Pick up the smallest Daiwa reel you can find and put on 4 to 6lb line and you are set. Also the rod and reel combo is great for backpacking through the west. If you come across a creek catch a few grasshopper and use a small gold hook and you will have trout supper in no time. Mind the bears if you are cleaning, cooking near your camp. Good luck.

This device is very durable but personally would not go sea fishing.Lake or river absolutely... A hook could mess it up but it has air chambers inside. You have to be responsible and it will be great.

I would say yes but watch out for the wind!!! It can blow you all over. I use mine on a river float fishing and can maneuver great in the calm flat parts in front of my camper. Just watch the wind lol. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes, I only use it for saltwater fishing. I have caught king mackerel, spanish mackerel, jack carvalle, and many other saltwater fish using this reel.

Its not rated as a saltwater reel but if you fish any saltwater, you need to rinse equipment with fresh water before you put it up. I've used mine in Maine saltwater on strippers.
