Your 6500 isn't made for the salt so be prepared to tear it down (completely) about every 2nd. trip. Lots of guys use their ABU's in salt and then I get to fix them. If you want to use a level wind, look for an old Shimano 400 in stainless steel. It's about the same size as the 6500 and the salt won't mess it up. I like a spinning reel from the piers. Penn levelwinds are made for salt but do not cast light weights very well. Us bass guys can use any gear anyway.
