To all Salt/Fresh Water Anglers here.. What do you think...

Is the C3 usable in salt water? Like an above poster, I have one as well for pike and musky fishing (though my 7000i gets most of the musky duty these days), but I don't know if I'd trust it to last long with salt water use.. still a great reel at a great price.

I was using BCX series in FL and they works just fine in salt and fresh water...
So I believe C3 Should do even better.. I read Opinion on it on Abu Garcia page... most ppl use them for freshwater fishing but opinions from salt water anglers are up high as well....

Personally I'm a St. Croix guy, but I'd take an Okuma rod over the Ugly stick any day...I think the C3's are marketed as both fresh and salt water reels so it should be okay...may want to double check though...

I love St. Croix... I have 5'6" UL and 6' Light from Triumph Spinning Series with small Shimanos on it and i just love them... I was thinking About 8'6" Heavy action Triumph® Salmon & Steelhead Casting Rod.. but max lure is only 2 oz and 100$ is little bit to high for me right now...
