Yikes, thousand dollar fly reels for striper fishing - this place is getting too rich for my blood.
If it were me - I'd pick up a decent carbon fiber drag reel like a $275 TFO and grease the drag with cals for wet performance.
If swimming with it, I'd soak the spool in fresh water and put a little oil on the bearings. BTW, I don't think the bearings are waterproof in a Charlton either.
