If it's a big pit reel Scotty, it might not like the salt water.

I've got a sb 8000 and find it a very good reel, not sure what your asking if you've got a big pit reel and you say your happy with it but you'l find it will last longer if you rinse it under slightly warm water as cold water doesn't break down the salt then give it a spray over with silicone spray its more expensive than wd40 as its not corrosive to your line, might help you if its not a salt water reel

What am wonting to know is if it any good for mix ground fishing ect
