Actually I have plans on getting one for next season. The thought of 779 scared me though.

Has the technology changed in the 100,150,200 and 250 reels? If the technology has not changed the price should stay the same or even drop.
Am i wrong??
I can understand the higher cost of the saltiga reels as they have new and possibly better components but if the components in the VS are the same why the higher cost???

I am sure the cost of materials (metal) goes along way when pricing! For that much money you can keep them! 
Aluminum or stainless I think=precious metals! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Gotta consider that they cater to a niche, high end market and can't price things low and make their profit in quantity. How many reels can they really sell in a given year? They last a long time too so they don't get as many repeat customers either.

With in the last year copper and aluminum has tripled in price maybe even more, I was turning in scrap copper and getting $3.50 a pound, turn in 100 pounds that's $350.00. for trash basically. so I can understand the cost increase. but that is why I have bought all mine used and saved a ton of money. A VS250B just sold for $150.00 on SOL 2 days ago. |
