Can i use it in salt water, to fish for Norwegian halibut ...

Yes, this reel is awesome. You can not go wrong from anything made by Okuma...

It is not designed for salt water so you will need to rinse it off with fresh water after every use. They are definitely strong enough to handle the fish you are after.

I cant see why not, just need to wash it well after each use (ie: rinse). I have only used in Lake Michigan, but you might want to look on Okuma website?

Probably, but not salt-proof. Just be sure to rinse it in fresh water soon after snorkelling. Then dry it well.

Although I have never used it in a salt water application (I use mine to determine how much FRESH water I put in my RV's holding tank) my LIMITED research doesn't show that it can't be used for salt water (sorry about the double negative). One question asked about using the device for HEATED (90°C) salt water, which was recommended against; however, I believe that was a TEMPERATURE recommendation, not a water type recommendation. Like anything else, I think you would need to flush the meter out when your done so the salt doesn't dry inside the system. Good luck!

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

Yes. I used it all the time, for salt water, used 18§ test line. Pull 20 lbs.reds all day long, sheephead, kingfish, and. macroe..

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.

I plan to use mine for redfish and sea trout when we go to our winter place in Texas. I rinse my reals thoroughly after each use in salt and have never had a problem. This reel should work fine. I've been using mine in fresh and love it. Tight lines. Gary

We bought ours to use in salt water, we have only had it three months, so far so good.

I use this food for salt water fish so I think it would be better to check with a pet store. Sorry.

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.

Definately. I have fished 4 times for multiple days in salt water with no corrosion problems. The graphite body and arbor do not react to salt water. I always thoroughly rinse the reel in fresh water after each trip.resh water after each outing.

Personally i don't think this knife is meant to be taken into salt water. You probably could, but i think there are better options out there.

I do not fish salt water.....A fish is a fish in salt or fresh water.....Seems to me it would work on the proper fish...don't try it on a 200 pound shark!!

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.

It is made out of Stainless Steel so yes it is made for salt water. It will not rust and is of a standard size for most if not all fishing rods.

I fish Salt water, I wouldn't suggest usage for large fish,( over 5 lbs, Remember this is an inexpensive ROD.

No it isn't suited for use in or around salt water. It's a very durable unit and all that but the conductivity of saltwater requires a detector designed to handle that application specifically. I have used mine on the beaches around where I live. That must be above the tide line in soil and rocky areas well above the brackish water table and it works well for that. As soon as you find salt water within the detection limits of the unit you are bound to have problems.
