RE: Okuma RTX anyone?

Well, if you are fishing on a yellow banana, then you should go with cheaper reels that can be thrown away. As much as you can prevent corrosion, it will eventually happen. As much as you can prevent dunking, you will eventually flip over. Freshwater isn't so bad...flipping over in the surf zone...saltwater + sand = reel killer...might as well toss them away once you dunk them.

Friends of mine in California buy cheap reels for surf fishing...those sub-$50 reels...because they can replace them every 2 years and it doesn't hurt as much to throw them out.

There's always an argument for bling...and an argument for ghetto...depends on the situation and where you fish most.
