Same here, replaced all the line on all my reels last winter, because it was time, prices were cheap and it needed to be done, bought some new reels and spooled them up and replaced the busted, saltwater plays heck with them all!

Should be good for amother decade, lol

For saltwater gear try some Tri Flow oil. I just got some at the local ace hardware. Completely impervious to saltwater. I had to dunk my reel one day to get a snag loose. (ambassadeur 5000)

Got home, opened it up, waterjust beaded up in a few spots, dab it with a paper towel and put it back together. I was amazed. According to comments I saw online, people like it for bicycle chains too. I wanted it because I’m getting set up for some saltwater, going to try for a few specs and redfish this fall. Maybe flounder too.

No tackle shortage here, but going to have to go closer to the coast to find the saltwater gear I need. No surprise there, anything more than an hour away from the coast or so, saltwater tackle is not stocked much. No such thing as tout tails, wire leader...not many spoons...
