I'll throw in another vote of confidence for the Sealine series. Abus are not notorious for handling salt water. For a small baitcaster that will hold you might want to go with the Shimano Calcutta reels. They're more expensive but they will hold up under tough use for years and years. Another reel that I have found that holds up well on the kayaks are the Newells. I have a 200, 300, and 500 series and they all just keep killing fish. I keep telling myself when my old Newells die I'll get some thing "better". Hundreds of fish later and they're all still going strong. Mike
