Question Conventional Reels ?

I need some advice. 90% of my surf gear was given to me by my Dad when he and my Mom moved to Florida. One of the things he gave me is his custom surf rod, its my main rod, its a beautiful graphite rod and can really take a beating. Along with that is a matching conventional rod. Built to similar specs. Its sitting lonely in my basement. I’d like to get a reel for this rod and use it next year. I used Shimano “baitcasting” reels for years fishing for largemouths. The technology was pretty good and I had few problems.
Are saltwater conventional reels the same? Are they pretty advanced now ? I see many that just look like boat reels and not built for casting. Are they durable in the surf? I get wet most times I fish.
Any help and reel suggestions is appreciated.
