Not really. The Emblem will probably outcast a Saltiga, but the guts are nowhere near as strong. The Emblem also can't hold a tight drag setting as well as the Saltiga--tends to loosen as you fight a fish.

Plus, the Emblem has that PITA external bail trip. Have to make sure the bail's clear or it'll flip over. The Saltiga bail will never flip. If Slip hasn't had his flip over as hard as he throws, you have to figure it'll never happen to the average caster.

I swear some of his casts were landing 60 yards in front of me standing on the other side
