Tackle Tactics is selling them, and it might be people into competition casting buying them. I'm wondering about getting one for surfcasting but worried about how they cope with saltwater - they are made for carp fishing. (Carp fishing must be very popular - there are lots of reels made for it.) There aren't many good quality long cast threadline reels on the market in NZ - not ones without some gimmick you don't want, but they're around overseas.

Asking a question - it's not very clear, though - only just makes sense to myself. I want to know if the Entoh reel handles surfcasting ok (I don't think it was made for saltwater fishing - but maybe this doesn't matter and it's made of good corrosion resistant stuff anyway).

Thats a good question Steg
Im hard on my gear and still have alot of reels to try out, if you look after them carp fishing or surfcasting should be fine.
My resls
Penn 850ss great simple reel taken a hell of a beating
Akois 656 I think another great reel needs and deserves more loving
Daiwa windcast BR yet to prove it's self but all good so far
6500b awesome reel for the rocks doesn't like the sand so much but is my oldest and most trusted reel.

My fave reel might be my Shimano TSS4 eggbeater. It'd be close, though, between that and my Penn 7500SS (had an 8500, I shouldn't have sold it). Once had a Daiwa G7000 Power Disc Drag. It was meant to be very good but it didn't last very long. I think Daiwa has a problem of bringing out new reels and then just dropping them - spare parts a problem. (But I've got a Daiwa Black Gold 30, an old reel Daiwa hasn't dropped. Think it's a Penn copy, and the drag in mine is no good.) I'm not out to knock Daiwa reels. I like the brand because it does long cast reels and has always been into threadline reels (doing things like Twistbuster), but I'm not so sure about the quality. I have a Crosscast 6000, very plasticky and tries to look very Japanese.
