Using Fresh Water Reels In The Salt

Hey guys been looking at a few reels for a new outfit im putting together particularly in the 1000 size. A reel im reely liking (worst pun ever) is the Daiwa Presso but says for freshwater use only. What makes it for freshwater only? Ball bearings, reel material, gears etc etc.

Even if i ignore this warning what type of maintenance shall i be doing because you would be wanting to do a doing a good job because it probably voids the warranty using in fresh water?

Pretty sure it is just the bearings - all oiled as opposed to grease ... apparently helps in cold weather. If i lived in Tasmania I'd get a couple!!!

presso will be fine in salt but extra care needs to be taken and reel needs to be regreased every 10 trips.
