If you don’t have a Sonic cleaner you can wipe off everything that you can, soak everything in lacquer thinner(or something similar), then use spray brake or carburetor cleaner to finish with.

    i’ve got the alijoz in the 8.5.1, and it’s a tank. if you’re throwing a bait that has a ton of drag, it’ll handle it just fine. I kind of regret buying the cardiff as my slow retrieve reel when I could’ve gotten another alijoz.
    the only thing I dislike about the alijoz is my thumb bar was loose from the factory and it’s just annoying. but I can bomb casts with it, and i’ve got the breaks almost all of the way off. i’ve thrown lures up to 7oz with absolutely no issues and it feels as solid today as it did the day I got it.
    edit: and dude. just cast it. you’re not going to break that rod. cast it the same way you would a crank bait or something. launch that bitch.

    What size rod would you think go well with the Alijos? If you could give me the size of the rod in the line rating that it uses I would appreciate it. I have a 7’ 2” rod that is rated for 8-12 lb mono, do you think this rod would go well with this reel or is the reel would be too big for the rod?

      So, usually magnesium framed reels are marketed for freshwater use. Once the surface coating gets banged up, you run the risk of the magnesium corroding with from saltwater. Beyond just the frame material, reels designed for saltwater usually have other components such as bearings/etc which are more salt-resistant (whether that be from the material of the component, or more/better grease). But as long you do regular maintence (rinsing, re-applying oil/grease), there's no reason you can't use a 'freshwater' reel in the salt.
      Responding to needabettername, my opinion is that spinning reels are more resistant to saltwater than baitcasters (unless the spool is super ported like on some reels) Everytime you cast a baitcaster, the saltwater on the spool is getting sprayed everywhere inside the frame, whereas the spool on a spinning reel is away from any internals.
