Anyone use lowprofile reels for ocean water?  What kind and model do you use and for what species?

I have two revo toro 60HS. I rinse them with a fresh water 'mist', not full blast garden hose, when I get home and so far so good. They have great capacity with braid and a very powerful drag.

I have yet to use it, but got an Avet SX and its a really sweet low profile reel and i'm going to try it for salmon and WSB.  I've also got a Revo Torro like Jim and caught a nice WSB on it.  For Rockfishing I've gone a bit cheaper and use a shimano cardiff 401A (yes, i'm a lefty) and it hasn't failed me yet on lings, halibut and RF.

I've been using a Revo S in my main lineup the past few years and love that little workhorse. Hooked everything from lings, butts and so forth. Had Alan work on it and change to carbon washers last year and it is awesome.

 +1  on the Avet  SX         Awesome lever drag system,  fast retrieval,  and the best part it's Made in USA!
