I use Curados and Symetre's.
How do the Revo's hold up in saltwater?

I've been told the Revo S's hold up fine, mine have, but I haven't put them in much salt.

The Revo SX supposedly holds up great, and mine has as well, but it does have magnetic brakes which is my only concern in the salt.

The Revo Inshore will probably outlast any of the other ones mentioned in the thread in saltwater, with the exception of maybe the old calcuttas. Them things are bulletproof.

I have 2 calcutta's sitting on top of my toolbox. Done with em.

How much you want for em? I've got one, and I'd like at least one more. 200b?

I've been using a couple Inshore's for a few years now. Haven't had them cleaned yet and almost as smooth as the day I bought them. I fish salt water almost weekly and leave the Curado's at home for the bass fishing in my pond.

I think I am sticking with the calcutta. I have never been a fan of low profile. "Why fix it if it isn't broken?"
