I have a Shimano Stradic 4000 FH that has probably been dunked a hundred times and is still going strong. All I do is fill the body of the reel with Abu Silicote reel lube and rinse it with fresh water when I'm done. Based on other feedback I hear about Stradics getting wet I wouldn't recommend buying one for this purpose but the one I have is great.
I have been thinking about getting a VS for a few years but the price tag is hard to swallow...
