If you want it for sea run cutties odds are you will find the fishing is often better in the rivers themselves too

Exactly....now the OP mentions about being fussy...no probs but I got a set up 40 years old that I bought up in Alaska still going strong....salt water use just put the reel in a sink of fresh water after rinsing it...the rod I use to put in the bath tub after rinsing for just an additional soak for an hour...you buy one set up that will do both and then carry on....but some like many addictions have many and that is not a bad thing if you got the cash.
