I dont skish or wetsuit , but there is no question that the reel is going to get splashed and occasionally dunked. I always rinse my gear well.

What I'm really after is a reel that will be there 100% when i need it to be. Right now I'm using Penn 704z's and Slammers. The 704's drag is never right after getting wet, and the Slammer hasnt given me the cranking power I've wanted. Also, the drag on the Slammer started to get very sputtery and jerky after a couple of mid 20Lb fish a few weeks ago.

Thanks for all of the great input guys! Deffinately helpful.
