I don't know about that Mike.
I certainly wouldn't put a Saltiga or Stella in the same category as VS or ZB. There great reels if they're kept high 'n' dry and sand free, definately not submersible or reels that can handle abuse if you plan on the reel functioning issue free for a full season even though that's what they would like you to think.
