Just curious but what type of damage should one expect on a reel thats been in the water that long?

Funny you should ask that Raskal. The hook, while showing signs of rust, was still mostly shiny. So those of you that think a hook is gonna rust out in a few days might need to rethink. There was little to no corrosion apparent on the outside of the reel. But then again, it was a Sealine, and they really are bullet proof.

i soaked the reel in fresh water over night. the next day the reel feels as good as new! i was planning to take it in to be serviced, but now i may just use it... like greg said, "bulletproof"!

Superman indeed.
Always willing to teach you something, help with your catch, and now, retrieve your rod from DJL.
Superb.

what? Greg didn't do a complete tear down and service on the reel before returning it to you? Sheeesh..

Greg's awesome.. met him on the Islander and saw his GoPro skillz in person. Impressive, to say the least! My son loved his halibut video also!

He targets a specific rod & reel, and gets it! I can barely target lizardfish!

Awesome story!
