I would get curator 300 ej or Abu toro inshore or fifty, get a reel that will stand up in surf durability is the key.Quote:

I know there will be people who will say that they haven't experienced any issues with Okumas, but then again, there are those who think that Taco Bell is fine Mexican cuisine.
Just my 2 Pesos.
The revo stx is a nice reel that can take alot of damage in saltwater either that or they sell brand new in box daiwa td Luna's for 170-200$ that would be a better choice, just depends on what you would like a low profile or a round reel.
I use a Curado 200E and a Calcutta 200GTB for the surf and it SLANGS the FM110
thanks to everyone who took the time to put there 2 cents ended up buying a curado 200
