I don't see an expedited shipping option.** A: Yes, we can do, it takes arround 4 days. If you're interested then please send us an Email.now we set the option for expedit shipping. If youยดve further questions pls ask again. **Q: Hi there, is this reel designed for salt water use as well? Thanks** A: I use this reel for saltwater surf fishing. The long spool design lies the line very well, so that it is setup for another long distance cast.Feeds the line out very well. This works well for getting past the surf on days where it is necessary. Would I use this on a sport fishing boat to saltwater fish? Yes but if that is your main fishing venue I would not recommend this reel, since it is a bit overkill for that. This reel is designed to cast far and has effortless retrieve.It is large. There is one complaint of owning this reel. I have had issues with the retrieve/bail switching over after a cast. Other pluses outweigh the negatives **Q: Does reel made anti-reverse** A: Yes, of course it does. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - ๐Ÿ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** โ€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - ๐ŸŒ **Shop Globally** โ€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **No Hidden Fees** โ€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - ๐Ÿ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** โ€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - ๐Ÿ”’ **Secure Payments** โ€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - โญ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** โ€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11067872-shimano-aero-technium-12000-xtb-magnesium-longcast-surfcasting-saltwater-fishing](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11067872-shimano-aero-technium-12000-xtb-magnesium-longcast-surfcasting-saltwater-fishing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
