A: 
I certainly wouldn't use the Core in Salt Water... it's a brilliant reel for fresh water and I wouldn't take it near salt water.

A: 
You dont pick the action of your rod by what reel you have. It totally depends on what you intend on doing with the rod. Jigging, moving baits, sizes and weights. There is a ton of variables that come into play when your trying to pick the perfect action rod. What do you intend you using the rig for?

Details: 
I ask this because every other Shimano reel I have ever bought had an insert in the box that the reel sat securely in. Mine was just loose in the Shimano box in the small bubble wrap bag. Input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A: 
There isn't a knob that clicks. The Core has a Variable Brake System that uses centrifugal force. You adjust the brake by turning on or off six internal brake weights (click out for on and in for off). The system works well and is very intuitive.
