Orvis Clearwater II reel in saltwater

[Skeena88]

I was wondering if anyone has used this reel in salt water and if so, how well did it hold up?

I haven't used that one specifically, although I'm familiar with it since I worked at Orvis for a long time. I use a Pflueger Trion, and use to rinse it off religiously. Not so much anymore, unless I dunk it in saltwater. For Searun Cutt Throat trout you'll be fine. I use my 6wt on the sound and it's my goto trout rod, for streamers and nymphing all over!
