The housing on the Blast is not sealed like the Z and many of its components are lower end. One of the Japan sites recommends against the Blast being used in the surf.

Ben, just break down and go with the regular Saltiga. I LOVE mine already, and it only has about 7 trips on it.  |

Opportunity is missed by most people because it costs a lot of money and is made in Japan.

Saltiga 4500, 50# Stren Super braid, Lami 1081MH. For the spring, I only fish a 9' rod a lot of the time as anything bigger gets in the way. Like I said before, I have been amazed at the distance I get with this thing. It absolutely LAUNCHES a 2.5 ounce pencil popper! One thing I have noticed is that my left arm gets tired after cranking in a few fish. Not sure if it is the reel or my arms got out of shape over the winter. Never noticed it with the VS.  |
