It was like watching a kid in a candy store for the first time. Anyway we walked away with $300 worth of stuff and will be getting more but the thot occurred to me later that this stuff might not last in saltwater conditions.
Any expert opinions would help.  |
I wouldn't call my opinion "expert", but my biggest concern would be any reels he may have purchased. You would not BELIEVE how fast a freshwater spinning reel will corrode when used fishing in saltwater.
