    these are great reels,i think some fisherman don,t wash them very well after a day or two fishing in saltwater.like any reel i don,t care who makes it,you need to wash and clean and oil them. i have 4 of these
    reels never had a problem.

    I have had two of these, and both came apart. Captiva reels will not hold up to the harsh saltwater environment. Bearings, gears, and shaft will rust and the thing will eventually come apart.
