I bought an Epixor eb-30 for my freshwater setup and loved it. Decided to buy an epixor eb-65 for salt and it was a mistake. not durable at all, can't really take a beating. I ended up relinquishing it to dunkin chunks and pretty much nothing more.

Wow, glad I asked, thanks for the feedback. Like you said, I liked my smaller one for light salt but for some reason, I was a little wary of the bigger ones. Guess I need to find something else now. Thanks again

I am intrigued by their new VS line of reels.Its the only reel in their line that has a 5year warranty.
I spoke with someone in customer service and they will be offering a larger size reel in that line suited towards surfcasting.
I figure with the warranty and the under $200 price tag I'll give it a shot.Either it'll work out or it won't.Either way I'm going put it to the test and report back here on a regular basis.Lets just hope they introduce this larger reel before the season really gets underway as a full season test is the only real way to gage if its going to be a decent reel or not.

I have two EB80's and I think they are great. They are used for throwing eels. The bait runner feature is a very useful device. This will only be my third year with them, but I woul highly recommend them. I bought them on a recommendation of a charter boat skipper from the Cape who owns many and has no complaints.
