Reels: VS 250 and Daiwa Saltiga Z5000
The Daiwa gets AT LEAST 50% more distance than the VS does. Gotta be the size/shape of the spool and the line wrap.

Amazing! I guess the VS is built WELL but still uses OLD technology.
Ok, now we need to make a hybrid reel. Penn price, VS waterproofness(a word?), with a Daiwa Long-Cast Spool. Now we are talking!
Funny thing is, the more I learn about reels, the more difficult it is to decide which one I want. There are so many pros and cons. Whewww!
Does the Saltiga seize at all if a wave throws sand on it or does it have the same features as the VS?
