Bait-casting Reels has a history that has developed for using large Mouth Bass fishing in U.S.A. and Japan. So there so many model which is very weak to salt water.
DAIWA appels MAG SEALED System which has durability to salt water. But they have several models which we have to be careful to use for salt water and brackish water.
In the other hand, makers release some model which recommend to use for salt water and brackish water. For example SHIMANO EXSENCE DC, BRENIOUS, DAIWA MORETHAN PE SV, BLAZON
These reels are developed for catching fishes in the sea for example Sea Bass, Breams……... In Vietnam anglers often use bait-casting reels for brackish area to catch Barramundi. Please be careful to choose reel if you use it mainly in the sea and brackish area.
I show the list of each two kinds from JDM (Japan Domestic Model) below.
This is SHIMANO's symbol mark which can recommend to use in salt water.
DAIWA appeal the dupability to use in salt water for MOTETHAN PE SW series.
