All tongue in cheek VS bashing aside, I would highly recommend the saltigas as I've had both of mine since 2004 and they've only been back to the service dept. once for routine maintenance. Mine get used maybe 50-60 nights per season (not much compared to some guy's reels) but they've simply performed flawlessly, especially the drags.

As for the canal, many serious jiggers I know own them and as you know, jigging in the canal puts a lot of torque on a reel. The 6000GT seems to be the best bet for strictly jigging, while the 4500 and 5000 are more versatile.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
