I was also doing some an information search on the Diawa Saltiga. Looks like a really nice reel. Can't figure out why the medium size model weighs slightly less than the small size model. I have 2 Van Staals but I'm getting a little tired of the lack of automatic bail. Also the maintenence $$$ makes them not only expensive to aquire but expensive to keep.
Is there a place where I can actually hold a new Saltiga to feel what they are all about.
BTW looking at the pricing from the Japanese website; you can save a little money by purchasing Saltiga from mailorder in the USA...
