Steve - what about when wet??
Is there anything proactively that can be done to mitigate sand and water issues on it??

John,
I have gotten mine wet but not dunked and it has been flawless. Would it be my first choice when wading out to a rock, no but I would not hesitate to use it from the sand. I have not opened mine up yet to see if any water got in.
Steve

rinse it good with soap and water and run a Q-tip along parts that look like they could collect sand |

John, 1 night getting dunked and then rinsed. Still rusted. Had a sand issue also. Lost 2 big fish due to sand getting into reel. A really snotty nite at Nauset, so not a big, or all the time issue. If your that concerned with where your gonna be fishing it I would advise against.

I serve all my own conventionals so fairly well versed in cleaning reels (though I should finnish putting my Stradic together  ). I was looking more for tricks beyonf the N.I.B. approach that might make it better...

You know some of the places I fish so they can get wet - I guess this might be out...
Any comparable reels casting wise that are more friendly getting soaked? |

Most reels like the Emblem Pro are very fickle when it comes to dunking it would seem.
Forgive me for saying this but...I've spoken with more than one person who uses an Okuma Axeon reel and they swear by them.
Who's to say. |

John, have 5500 and 4500's ( capricorn models) luv e'm both.Built to cast braid and has a very smooth micron drag. Wet no problem, rinse real good. Dunked one and it lasted 2 more trips. Sent it back to Daiwa ($10) and they sent me a new reel.  |
