New Spinning Reel Question

Might be a stupid question, but I plan on getting into some canoe/wade fishing for Smallies this year. I just bought an Avid ML spinning rod but have a question on reels. I know first hand the reel will be dunked in the water a lot from the wading. Should I just use my Shimano Stradics or buy a cheaper reel just for this application, maybe a Sedona??? Thanks for any help.

    The Stradic 2500FI has a waterproof drag.

    I think it's just what you need!

    But the Graphite frame isn't. If the reel is going to be submerged that much, then be prepared to service it, multiple times over the season....
