   It should hold up well. Just rinse all the saltwater out after every fishing trip. I have used the cardiff for the last 5 years almost daily fishing for bass. The reel has never gave me a problem. I have several reels that cost more money, but the cardiff does just as good as the higher dollar ones do.

   yes it does matter. some people will say it doesn’t matter but I don’t agree. The guides are further apart and when fishing it with a baitcaster (guides on top) if the rod is bent the line will rub on the rod. When you put the low profile reel on that rod the line will rub on the first guide also because of it being away from the rod so far. As I said I expect differing opinions but I don’t agree

   The first time I go out fishing after putting on new line. I will quite often attach a bobber and let out most of the line. I than reel it in and fish. It helps clean it up for lack of better terms.

   I would go for some of the 6lb mono because its better to play your fish in and gives you a little more sport, but if you could use some 8lb line that would be even better, unless you want to just crank the fish in without playing it back in then there doesn’t seem any point in 20lb braid.

   I use Shimano reels mostly chronarchs, curados and citica’s all in the 200 series, for Large Mouth Bass fishing using artificial lure’s pretty much exclusively. But would use them for fishing live bait for Bass as well but most of my Bass fishing is on the Tournament level so even when I’m not in a tourney I’m usually practicing for one and you can’t use live bait in a Bass Tournament,(atleast not the ones i fish) hence the reason I never use them with live bait.I do fish for other species quiet often though but it is not with HIGH Dollar Bass tackle. If I’m after BIG Cat’s then I’m usually drifting live bait on jugs or limb line’s, trotline’s or yo-yo’s as we call em’ actually they are spring loaded mechanical fishing reels that you attach to a tree limb , dock or anything else that you could tie it to that would be strong enough to hold a large fish. If I am using Rod and Reel then it’s either a big spin casting outfit or an Ambassadeur 5000-7000 baitcaster. When I take my family Crappie or Bream fishing we use lightweight spinning equipment exclusively with great success as it is much easier to cast light line and tackle on a spinning rig and a lot easier for the wife and kids to use. But MOST important Less WORK for me….LOL….as I can just imagine all the backlashes I’d be dealing with all day just to keep em’ fishing with bait casters.As for size of fish: on my Shimano’s I could use them to catch the biggest of large mouth bass and 25-30 lb or larger redfish if I was fishing saltwater. The Lightweight spinning equipment we use couldn’t take more than a 5-8 lb bass or catfish at best unless we got one that was really tired or just happen to get played out really well.As for the bigger tactics I use, well I have caught Gar over 150 lbs on jug lines, so I guess in the fresh water as long as I’m in my boat I would think I could handle the biggest in the river either on terminal lines or big spinning and or surf casting equipment under most conditions. However ya can never be sure of the monster that may be lurking round the next bend. I just try to be as prepared as I possibly can for whatever species I’m targeting. Good Luck to ya.

   The Ambassador series of reels from Abu Garcia are not made for little baits and small lines, they are made for 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 1 ounce, you know typical bass baits.How about rod length? For a larger reel, 5’6 & 6′ rods will be too small. They will not balance your combo out equally and will feel awkward. That’s why 6’6, 7′, or even 7’6 would be the best depending on fishing situations. I like 7′.Rod action? Rod action is very important. Medium-heavy would be perfect. Medium action might be too limber and not handle those 1 ounce spinnerbaits with thumping Colorado’s on them.How about line? No less than 12 lb. mono. I like mono for baitcasters, and Stren is my favorite brand. For me, i would feel the reel with either 14 or 17 lb. Stren Original in clear.That’s just personal preferences. Happy fishing.

   Well the Toro is a low gear ratio reel (4.6:1) that seems to be geared more toward crankbaits and the STX has 2 speeds available a 6.4:1 and a 7.1:1. You would need to clean both after saltwater use. The Revo Inshore would probably fit you needs more, It can handle saltwater and fresh and can easily go back from the 2. It has a gear ratio of 6.4:1 and price wise is right between the STX and Toro.

   You purchase the fishing outfit designated by what species (type) of fish you will generally be pursuing. Also, by WHERE you plan to fish, (IE- Inshore saltwater bays & creeks, saltwater Offshore, Freshwater, Offshore Freshwater trolling, Etc.)Decide WHERE and WHAT you want to catch and that will decide what kind of fishing outfit to purchase, (period). Let us know and we can give you recommendations on what Rod & Reel to get. UPDATE: I find it hard to believe that the NA Fishing Club is handing out brand-name Offshore fishing outfits for free. However, if they are, your best bet would be the free 7′ rod with baitcaster. Depending on the size and brand, you “might” be able to use the 7′ rod/baitcaster strictly as a “light tackle” offshore outfit and a decent inshore saltwater outfit.(That is, if you know how to CAST a baitcaster!)Why not try some inshore saltwater fishing? Fishing in saltwater creeks “inshore” is VERY productive and much less dangerous, (as a first time fisherman), than going offshore to fish. Not to mention the “start-up” cost of offshore fishing VS inshore fishing! Depending on where you are, Inshore, you can catch Redfish, Striper, Sea Trout, Sand Trout, Weakfish, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Sheephead, Croaker, Spots, Whiting, Tarpon, small Grouper, Etc. Offshore fishing is fun, but to do it right, a “casual attitude” and cheap tackle/outfits won’t “endear” you to the sport or be the safest thing to do.”Shoot” for Inshore fishing, and while learning “general saltwater fishing” slowly collect the appropriate gear you need for Offshore.The people here in YAnswers fishing area can answer most of your Questions, but “hands-on” teaches you the fundamentals. Hope this helps? Good fishing!
