Most plastic frames are graphite and they do hold up in saltwater. They are corrosion resistant and have the strength to avoid frame twist. Thanks for asking - Dennis
I don't think there is an easy fix, but I don't know the cause. Locking up could be a simple as a broken bit of line trapped inside the reel or it could be extensive damage, like a broken gear. You will need to take the reel apart and examine each piece. - Dennis
Hi, does plastic framed round baitcaster hold up in regular saltwater in your experience? Thanks

nice reel, it has favorable reviews
Yes it does! I have one and I enjoy using it for inshore surf siding with plugs
I just got a 300 size Cardiff and am experiencing the problem of the reel locking up under tension. Is there an easy fix to this?
