Are Avail spools saltwater OK?

How well do Avail’s “extra super duraluminin” spools stand up to saltwater use? Corrosion issues?

I have used Avail spools for Abu 2nd gen STX and Premier, Abu Amb 4601, and Shimano Curado in the salt and I have not had any issues.

Oh, also Avail spools for Amb 5601 and maybe some that I have forgotten... Many trips, no corrosion.
