Is this a good or bad idea?

I will probably only fish saltwater once or twice a month.

You'll replace that reel more times in a year and spend more on replacement. If you want to stay cheap with warranties, the h2o express reel at academy holds up well for the low price and has a lifetime warranty, paired with a shimano clarus that also has lifetime warranty. Lookin at ~150.
