You are the first fellow I know who has actually used all 3 of these reels (stella, VS and Saltiga) himself. Thanks for that review.

Two questions for you on the saltigas:

Did you purchase them in the US?
Have you had them serviced yet and if so how did that go?

The reason I ask is that I concur with your thoughts on the stellas...while I have not had a problem with them its still like driving a Lexus thru seawater and it would be nice to have a rubberized Hummer for that. I am thinking of getting a saltiga to take the brunt of the elements at some of the more severe locals and save the lexus for the less extreme nights.. But service is big with me...if I can't get it fixed I don't want it.

BTW if you have not shipped your stellas in for service, I would do it. I doubt it costs you anything and they normally upgrade all kinds of things and toss in a few goodies.
