The Saltiga Z’s are super reels. I fish 3 of them – 2 of them since 2004. Zero problems and they perform great. Also, Daiwa has provided great customer service as far as annual routine cleaning/servicing – which I have done twice.
The Saltiga Blast is a different reel for surf-fishing. They do not have the same water-proofing seals as the Z’s and I’ve read that the materials for internals of the Blast are a step down from the Z’s. There’s a reason for the $300 difference.
