Default H20 Mettle Baitcaster....
I need a cheap baitcaster for my third rod. I was told that the Academy special -- H20 Mettle's are holding up well. Anyone using one for saltwater? How is it holding up?

Saltyshaw, I don't like those round garcias. I rather a low profile baitcaster. I grew up on those old garcias... but have found low-profiles to be more comfortable to fish with.
