    Keep it to a max of 3oz and dont be lifting strings of macks up any height and you should be ok. Just give it a good wipe down after every use as the salt might corrode the finish pretty quick as it will be designed for fresh water.

    I'd rather buy a cheap 9ft/10ft mackerel/sea rod.

    I'd find the 12ft very awkward off the pier, and would rather keep the 12ft Sonik in good shape. Mackerel bashing can get messy!
