You can but don’t be surprised when it degrades over time since it’s not been designed to stop water from intruding or resisting salt also has zero sealing. A lot of people say any reel can be used in saltwater as long as it’s washed down properly, that’s just not true.
If you use a freshwater reel in salt it should always be serviced afterwards. If you’re looking to pick up a reel for saltwater then look at the Shimano Sedona, Sahara and Nasci, all budget saltwater reels that’ll perform well with minor maintenance (Oiling and Greasing) for just a holiday to the coast.
