Hey All,
Anyone have experience with either the Revo Inshore or STX low profile reels? I'll likely be picking up one or the other soon and would like some feedback. Mostly freshwater use, but some salt as well. I like maintaing my own reels. This reel will likely be my go-to bass and rockfish reel.

A few differences between the reels...
1. Any thoughts on magnetic vs centrifugal brake systems?
2. In doing regular maintenance, are salt-resistant components really necessary?

Thanks for the input,
Jay

I don't have that reel, but magnets are cool! Very adjustable to the point where you can completly kill over-spin without losing too much distance. With a slightly educated thumb, they really wail.
