Daiwa Coastal 200HS
This is the saltwater version of the new T Wing System. This is basically the Tatula reel that has been beefed up to handle the inshore waters better. It has 7 corrosion resistant bearings and the frame is made of aluminum. It comes with a 7.3 to 1 gear ratio which used to be considered high speed, but with the influx of reels with 8 to 1 and even 9 to 1 gear ratio, 7.3 isn't really considered to be high speed any more.
The things that most folks complain about with this reel and the Tatula is how big it is. I happen to have large hands and for me this reel does not feel too big at all. It is also a heavy reel, but it is to be expected for a beefed up reel to handle saltwater use. This is definitely not a magnesium framed lightweight reel. This weight does not bother me in the least, but some folks may find it a bit cumbersome.
If you are looking for a reel that is saltwater ready right out of the box, give the Daiwa Coastal a look.
