Do a search for Saltiga, especially tlapinski's posts. How's having all the bearings replaced sound? I refuse to believe Saltigas are sealed if that sort of work is needed.

I still feel Van Staals are the least prone to issues and require the least maintenance during the season of any reel you might use in the surf.
Saltiga sounds good in some situations, but VS still seems to come out on top, less frills. And i guess even if its another $50 a year. I will just have to buy two less lures a year. Worst situation I could sell it, They seem to still bring high dollar amounts, even the older ones. So I would be pretty much renting a reel for $50 a year...yeah.... Its getting to be that time of night...

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
