I have an H20 Express reel. Bought one about 6 months ago to try it out, and I was very impressed. It's by far the cheapest reel I have and it's also one of my favorites. My only worry is how long they'll last, but so far I haven't had the slightest trouble in the 6 months I've had it. I'll probably be buying some more soon.

H2O express reels from Academy are some awesome reels... I fish a few bass tournaments here and there, and talk to alot of bass fisherman who LOVE the H2O express. I went out and bought 2 for myself and love them. its on my top poles list. I think its the BEST reel @ its price.

Next on my list is the Pfleuger Summit:

Really awesome reels. Will sling a weightless worm 50 yards.

Next would be a Shimano Citica or Curado, I have 2 of each and really like them.

Another thing about the H2O express, is that it has the break system just like the Summit, Curado, and Citica. Really nice reels..

They have 3 styles of H2O reels, I have the "Mettle". and love it.

H20 express reels are one of the best on the market today for the money...Actually in BASS mag. the H2O express "mettle" is one of the hottest reels out there right now. Good thing about them is when they break for any reason...Academy will replace it for free with your receipt. Had the dang pawl go out on my brother in-laws and replaced no questions asked. hell a pawl is not but $5...thye told me they are made overseas and its cheaper to replace the reel than to stock spare parts. So KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS.

I am sure the H2O reels will hold up in saltwater if they are not used a lot. Like anything else you can get by with the less expensive stuff if not used a lot. I use nothing but Shimano baitcast reels. At one time I used nothing but Okuma but I made the switch about 6 months ago to 100% Shimano.

is it better than the curado?

[bigdog]

I like Fishing with my Old Green Curado's the most.

[Austin(boatman's son)]

oh.. and i have an old crestfire that is messed up inside. Like the bearings are broke or something. Is it a reel that is worth fixing?

[bigdog]

You might be better off to save your money and buy a H2O Express Mettle from Academy.
