Hi Bill,

It might be a salt water durability issue. That level winder might get sand
in it?

I was wondering why would you want to use a non level wind reel. At first
I
thought maybe it was economics. But looking at the Shimano catalog I see
the
Calcuttta 700 can be had either way. I am a freshwater man who has just
started
fishing Salt water and was wondering if there is some advantage that I can
not
see.

Thanks,

Bill
