I too recently picked up a Pinnacle-off the bottom of Lake Moultrie(Santee Cooper). It apparently been there quite a while. I was shocked that the handle turned surprisingly easily and thumbar released spool just like its supposed to. Full of mud , some corrosion. If thats not a testimony to durability I dont what is. It was attached to a Falcon 6' 6" rod. I'll clean it up well enough to use in salt water. If it lasts one trip or 100, who cares-nothing invested but a little 15lb. Big Game. I'm sure it will cast a 1/4 or 3/8 jighead OK. Doubt if it will cast a #5 Shad Rap. It was only in 2ft. of water. Cant believe it was there that long w/out somebody seeing it or how whoever lost could not find it.
