which shimano low profile are ok for saltwater?

core

metanium dc

chronarch ci4

 

Tranx

I would say none of those but they would be great for bass fishing.  

 

From what I can tell on Shimano's website and from memory, most Shimano reels are not saltwater friendly when used on a regular basis.  The Tranx and Chronarch G are what is listed from Shimano in their low profile reels for saltwater but they stress light inshore and made for freshwater fishing. 

 

Whatever reel you choose will need to be rinsed in freshwater after each use and the proper saltwater  type oil and grease reapplied. 

out of the reels i own only the ci4 is saltwater safe.

Depends. As a general rule of thumb i wouldn't dare use magnesium in salt water but they have made advancements in coatings that supposedly work. Mg gear is typically more expensive and I love taking care of my things so I'm gonna say it's probably not going to hurt to continue that rule. I don't care how good a coating is there fail.

I have used a Citica E inshore fishing and had no problems.

Some of the D series were saltwater versions.

I'd go to the horses's mouth for this one.  What does the Shimano web site say?  If there was any ambiguity at all, I'd call them up and ask.
