Question on some old but new reals - Ernie_Nyvall - 05-17-2008 My brother bought some reals 20 or so years a go and went fishing once. He gave me the reels a few years ago. I know very little about reels and when I walked into one of those three story fishing stores the other day I realized I know even less than what I thought. Anyway, later this year we are going to go on vacation in Florida and I'm just going to fish for a week, so I decided to get these reels my brother gave me out and start cleaning them up. I need to know if they are worth it or if they will be okay in salt water. The three reels are: Abu Garcia Ambaseur Ultr Mag XL plus baitcast Shimano Quiickfire II FX200 spinning Shimano Quickfire AX 200Q spinning I did find a diagram on these, but it's not real clear. If anyone knows where I can find old instructions, that would be great. I don't want to start taking them apart and have a spring go halfway across the room. Any help would be appreciated.

That is why they have reels designated as salt or fresh water reels.[/#008000] [#008000]Fairly inexpensive salt water reels are available from practically all manufacturers. Check out BassPro for a good price.[/#008000] [signature]
