I am a big shimano fan, and i am hoping they deliver on this promiss, they make the reels over seas now but you cant get the repaired here but when i was looking to aquire one of the overseas models i was strongly urged to wait. That have already began adapting the technology on other reels as far as the spool design, but the price maybe step when i comes out , i know i am excited to see it.

the saltiga surf is the biggest waste of $400 i ever spent. ive had it since it came out, sent it in 5 times, not to get serviced but to get fixed. and i only used it maybe 10-15 times a year This past time, they had to replace the main gear, pinion gear and body. cost a little over $100. used it once at a jetty it seized up, and i rinsed it out after that one time. when it works its awesome, but getting it to work is a rarity.
penn has said they are gonna release a long cast model of the new SSV. that would be pretty awesome.
Mark, if you want one now, i still prefer the older emblem pro, to most out there now, and i do like the shimano albrid, which you can get on ebay

the long spool shimano won't be available till around september, supposedly a re-designed stella with a long cast spool, the albrid are great reels, super light and super smooth, the new stella is going to be around 900, buy a old stella off of ebay for around 700 shipped, 8k size,
