[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 372493, member: 13599"] This is my Fresh Water fly reel that I loaned my brother a few years ago, He used it in salt water and apparently did not wash it after a salt trip and just put it away. This is how I got it back last week. The paint was starting to pucker and crawl on the pot metal frame then after soaking it in vinegar, the paint just let go. It is not salvageable and he agreed to replace it. The rod was fine, the line was trashed. Yes, you CAN use fresh water fly gear in salt water, BUT - use common sense when it comes to putting it away after each trip. SALT IS THE ENEMY !!!! TAKE CARE OF YOUR FISHING GEAR [/QUOTE]
