Daiwa Saltigas?
Dammit.
I just got an e-mail from Bass Pro Shops.
They're running a special...buy anything online that's over $125 and you can take 6 months to pay for it interest-free.
They sell Saltigas. 
I wasn't gonna fall for it, but now I'm tempted, at only $133 a month.
Which models are being fished right now?
Or, which model is closest to a VS250? The 4000? 5000? 6000?
Thx and I'm sorry if this has been asked before.

Ben,
The 5000 and 600o are virtually the same reel with one having a deeper spool for more line. They are closer to the VS300. The 4500 is somewhere between the VS200 & 250 but closer to the 200. Great reel, I have two of them. The only draw back in my mind is the line capacity in this size, it took about 270 yards of 50 lb. power pro with backing of of about 25-30 yrds. of 20 lb. big game.
Otherwise, you can't go wrong.

Do these reels breath under water is what I want know? I know the Z's and VS's hold their breath for a long time.

I'm looking forward to the responses. I picked up a 4500 but I haven't used it yet. I hear they can cast really well. We'll have to see how they react to being submerged/in water.

I'm going to have them in the shop this spring. I'm looking foward to taking a real close look at them. I'm always suspicious of new gear. These reels sound pretty well tested though.

270 yards should be plenty, even for the Canal. I could probably get a whole 300 yard spool on there if I used 10# backing and just put on enough to give the PP something to bite into. |

The other drawback is the !@#$ing price.   |
