Saltwater GM reels?

What model(s) of Garcia Mitchell spinning reels are considered saltwater reels?
Welcome to the site. There are many reels made for saltwater usage. A good size list. I will only put righthanded ones here, lefthand crank. 302, 302N, 316, 382, 386, 396, 402, 486, 488, 496, 498. There are variations of these reels, but they have these numbers in them. Now the 306 is an intermediate reel for fresh and saltwater use. I also fish with the 300 reel in salt water for smaller fish. Actually 301 because I'm lefthanded. It all depends on what your are targeting. This list does not include the level wind reels the Mitchell also made. Hope this helps.
