no I fish bait cast not no middle of the mall spin cast. So the cheaper Abus??? Thoughts??
From experience, anything cheaper than the Revo S will end up giving you problems with the worm gear/levelwind at some point with heavy use. And if you're gonna spend that money, just get a shimano curado, they handle salt better.
That's talking low profile reels, which I prefer. The round Abu reels seem to hold up to salt fine if you take care of them. All my dad uses. None of us fish salt a whole lot though, handful of times a year, a little more than that some years. Take it FWIW

Abu Garcia recently redid their entire round reel line. Now the Ambassadeur C3 and C4 come with coated bearing and corrosion resistant finishes, but they also jacked up the price on them. The C3 now runs $120 and the C4 is $140. You can probably find them on sale for $20 off though.
