PM, if you made a nice titanium roller that fit on the 704, 706 and the slammers, you could retire  |

Professor M,
If you ever make an all titanium Saltiga knock off..... I'm your first customer. I'll pay the $1200.00 !!

Whoa now. I have never even seen one of these units yet. I am just thinking out loud. I probably would need a whole year just to sit down and look at the logistics. The actual making of the initial one could take another year, and that is if you could work full time doing it. That is the problem doing that type of stuff it takes many hours you can't rush. Making a solid body out of raw stock to copy a cast part would be very very time consuming. You wouldn't belive the engineering that goes onto something like that. Copying a conventional reel would be a little easier because of the body shape but still difficult. I think something along the lines of making better upgrades to existing reels out there now would be a better choice for someone like me to attempt. Problem is I have no where to do this other than work and I don't think the boss would be too thrilled with that, but I am trying to do something about that for the future. Paul

This, I think, is part of the reason why these reels are expensive. Time=money or so the saying goes. Making these reels (even if it's not entirely out of titanium) is harder then it looks. |
