I usually use one of my bass rod and reels when I go saltwater fishing and throw soft plastics. Now they we got a bay boat and I'm going to be doing a lot of saltwater fishing I want to get a baitcaster to use exclusively for saltwater. Recommendations?

I'm waiting on the new Curado to get back on the shelves. Talked with a guy at Bowies who said they're amazing....complete overhaul. My favorite right now is the Calcutta by far.

I have a curado 200E7 for this. Too bad they quit making em.

Revo or Orra inshore would be good (never used them though), I'm not familiar with the new curados in salt but that'd probably be fine too.

Basically, get a nicer baitcaster with centrifugal brakes, I worry about magnetic brakes corroding with lots of salt exposure.

If you like round reels get a calcutta and you'll probably still be using it 20 years from now
