Which Lews model are you saltwater fishermen using? I've always been a Shimano guy, but I done with them after having to rebuild my Core after every use.

Shimano curado for me. Several reels that have fished 50+ days a year for 17-18 years and I've only replaced a drag washer and I upgraded the bearings. All of my new curados get oiled every few uses and broken down 2x a year to clean and grease. Idk about the core, I would assume it isn't for salt water if you're having problems with it.

The Core was a great reel for about 3 years. #1 issue was an anti-reverse bearing going out. All down hill from then on.
