Buddy has one, very smooth long casting reel when it was new. I'm not sure how it holds up to saltwater. They came a long way from the 5500 C.

I personally think most of your higher end reels(shimano,abu,ect....) will last as long as you take care of them, a little freshwater bath and oil go a long way. Negligence is a reels worst enemy

I hate when people complain about a reel not lasting, but you ask them if they cleaned it as much as they should and the answer is usually no.

Reelman told me to spray a light coat of about 1/8 simple green to 7/8 water on the reels and wipe them down. He said too much water can mess up the inside of the reel.

I'm gonna try that out Ray.

I read somewhere to never hit the reel with high pressured water cause it would push the salt into the reel
