Casting reels for saltwater?

[Mikelodeon]

Any of you guys use cast reels for saltwater fishing.

 

If so, which one you use. I am tempted to get a curator for that purpose.

Abu Garcia Revo Nacl for everything inshore.

Abu Garcia Revo Beast For throwing swim shads and plugs.

Penn Fathoms for live lining 

Penn Fathom LD for blackfish

What about just surf, throwing bucktails, spoons and top water. What about a shimano curado.

I have used abu's for 20 years. Just upgrade the drag washers. I throw plugs on 6500's and haven't found near a reason to switch.

I've read great reviews for curado's from the beach. I just prefer a more open reel.

Used Casting Reels before the spinning revolution Had a Penn on my home made Calcutta pole. for saltwater surf fishing. Never went back it is spinning all the way for me. I have never seen anyone using one anymore. Good Luck.

I have personally used Avet reels for sometime now, and am very happy with their quality and workings.

Mine are used primarily for surf fishing.

 

Both Dead sticking and throwing stuff (Plugs, Spoons, Bucktails, etc.)

I use conventional for throwing bait from the beach( and those are mostly Ambassadeur or Newells) but for throwing plugs,jigs its a spinning reel. With the great spinning reels out there plenty of power and no need to plug with conventional anymore. From a boat different ball game.

Now you all done it have to look into a Freshwater Casting reel after all these years My Grandson noticed them on a bass Show and now interested. My only question is How light a lure can be cast by one. Since we just got into the trout magnets.  Saltwater I will stick with Spinning. Since most of my saltwater is done from Beach casting or dead sticking.

So my questions are what reel to get for let's say Ultra light Lures?
