from personal experience, the avet is the only reel i have found that can take that kind of fishing. the bearings are sealed, and the drag is not affected by water. all it needs is a good rinse. the SX looks small, but holds a ton of line. you just need to be able to get used to the lever drag. i never wetsuited with mine this past season, but i will be taking it out with a suit this year.
