    Hey man, I just want to say thank you for this review. I love salt water fishing. You convinced me buying the reel. This will be my first bait caster. I just used it on the pond because I didn’t have time to get on the kayak and use it. I can’t wait to use it on the saltwater and fight a redfish.

      Go for the Tranx - absolute workhorse in the salt. OVer a year of hardcore salt use now (with periodic maintenance). Ive had the Scorpion DC seize up on me even with rinsing. But I use it in the south-Asian tropics, so the humidity will definitely be a factor.
