Yeah, I think Toby is one of those "reel-killer" fishermen.
All I know is that in 3 years of using Saltiga's I've had zero problems with the reels - and that is after having reel problems every single year using Van Staal's, Finnor Ahab's, Shimano Stradics, and Penn's.
I don't swim with my reels or intentionally reel them while submerged, but the kind of fishing I do that my Saltiga's have performed flawlessly in gets reels wet enough often enough that it seized up the Finnor Ahab's and Stradics every year by the early Fall and even caused a few albeit minor problems with the Van Staals I had & sold.
