Conventional Fishing Reel
Conventional Fishing Reel
which is the better fishing reel for salt water, strength and durability a spinning reel or conventional?
It all depends on what conditions you're in. For long casts/ surf fishing, I like spinners, I use a Penn 750, fantastic reel, on a 12' surf rod.
If I'm chucking lures, I prefer bait casters.
For going offshore, I prefer open faced/bait caster designs. I use various Penn models from small ones, up to a 9/0 when going for bigger shark.
As far as durability goes, you get what you pay for. Also, when fishing salt, you must thoroughly clean the reel from salt and sand, otherwise it will corode and become useless.
Just my opinions.
