The kit is the same from salt to bass, just diffrent flies. And no the reel cant be switched.

Any fish you would need to use a braided line for would be too much for that reel. Stick with mono.

I'm left hand, and it works fine, but you can not turn it around, so you would need to buy the right reel for you. Plus, the reel it comes with is junk, so I would get a better one.

In my opinion, the Zebco spincast fishing system is not intended for use in salt water. The metal parts of the reel would corrode quickly once exposed to salt . Also, The rod & reel are not durable enough to land any fish much above 6-7 pounds.

If you are right handed and are buying a BAITCAST reel, you should get a reel that the crank is on the right side. Bait cast reels usually only come with the crank handle on the right side while opened faced reels are inner changeable. Most all open faced reels are capable of having the customer change the crank handle from either side by just a simple screw removal and side reversal. Baitcast reels are mounted on top of the rod, while open faced reels hang below the rod. Hope this helps.

Yes. It comes set up for left handed reel, but the handle can be moved to the other side to for right handed reeling. Can be done in a minute or so.

Ive never seen a reel that wasnt both, but yes this reel is capable of right and left hand use.

Yes can be used in salt water, and speedometer. Be sure to read what type of transducer if it comes with a basic transducer the downimage won't work, you need the HDI TRANSDUCER for the down image. I had to purchase a different transducer that I got at bass pro shops for around $60.

I have the spinning rod, use it with a 4000 sustain for light salt water. Great rod for the size.

I believe the line is different. I know the bass is floating line. If you want to use it for both I would just get the saltwater

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.

I use powerpro for saltwater fishing, but one thing for sure is you will IMPROVE your hookset with PowerPro. There is no stretch in the line like mono. If you are bass fishing, you will rarely have that much line out. You will feel every bump and wiggle at that length. If anything, you will try to set the hook too early because a 'tap' will feel like a hit on mono. Yo will have to get used to the sensitivity to begin with.

No, the one I bought is right hand only. You might check to see if you can order the same reel but with a left hand presentation. If they don't, you might consider a spinning reel because most of them can convert to right or left hand use. Hope this helps!

I believe you can just turn the reel around; however mine is a LEFT hand retrieve because that is the way I mounted the reel with the handle pointing toward the left. You have a great reel and should work perfect!

Yes, you can mount this reel either way, left or right. The "drag" system is a simple clicker , and it shrieks like a banshee in either direction. Hope this helps.... Ben

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.

You can cast this reel but it is best used to troll for larger fish, as I do for salmon out of Humboldt Bay in Eureka California. I own three of these reels and find them durable and a great bargain for the price. I have owned them going on four seasons without a problem. Keep them oiled and release the drag over the winter and these should last a long time.
