Stellas will not hold up to getting dunked.

They may keep working (the drag is waterproof) but in a relatively short time the drivetrain will start getting crunchy.

It'll work, it just won't be ANYTHING like new.

We've got a Stella a customer bought in the shop and took into the surf. He sold it back to us a few weeks later after it started grinding.

It's landed several BFT between 50 and 100 lbs since, and it has actually gotten smoother since when we got it back. But it sure doesn't feel like it did fresh out of the box.
