Frequently Asked Questions
Saltwater Reels Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the best type of reel for saltwater fishing?
For most anglers, spinning reels are the best all-around choice for saltwater fishing because they are easy to use and versatile. For trolling and targeting larger fish like salmon or halibut, conventional reels are the better option.
Q. What size saltwater reel should I buy?
For salmon fishing around Vancouver Island, a medium to large reel in the 3000–6000 size range for spinning reels or a levelwind conventional reel is a reliable choice. Larger reels are better for deep water and bigger fish.
Q. Can I use a freshwater reel in saltwater?
Freshwater reels are not recommended for saltwater use because they lack corrosion protection. Saltwater reels are built with sealed components and materials designed to handle ocean conditions.
Q. What features should I look for in a saltwater reel?
Look for corrosion-resistant construction, a smooth and strong drag system, sealed bearings, and enough line capacity for your target species. These features ensure durability and performance in saltwater conditions.
Q. Do I need a special reel for salmon fishing?
Yes, salmon fishing typically requires a reel with a strong drag system and enough line capacity for trolling or deep-water fishing. Levelwind conventional reels and larger spinning reels are commonly used.
Q. How do I maintain a saltwater reel?
Rinse your reel with fresh water after every use and store it dry. Regular maintenance helps prevent corrosion and keeps your reel performing smoothly over time.

Safety and Peace of Mind
Awesome product very simple to install. A bit of wire cutting and splicing. Pretty much plug and play. Can’t put a price on safety of your family or protecting the value of your boat. Most insurance companies will also give you a discount if you use this product. This product is well worth the investment and peace of mind.
What a great solution for holding a boat offshore and being able to pull in

Octopus hooks
I use octopus hooks, tied in tandem, for my hootchies, trolling for Kokanee. They are strong and sharp. Thank you for the great pricing on these hooks.

There is nothing more embarrassing than toilet odor on the boat
There is nothing more embarrassing than toilet odor on the boat. This really helped with a 20 year old toilet holding tank.

Harbour Chandler service was great
Harbour Chandler service was great, the Victron MK3 worked exactly as advertised, so all good. The question remains as to why I had to buy a programming interface to set the batteries to LiFePO4 instead of allowing the setting in Victron Connect iOS in the first place.
