tlap,
I tried for almost a year to get my hands on a Saltiga. Called or visited the biggest ( richest) tackle stores I could think of to no avail. Couldn't even find one at the MSBA show last year.
Finally bought one , sight unseen, after reading everything I could find out about them on the web. Trusted most of that research and the reviews. Sometimes ya gotta just roll the dice.
That said, I wouldn't buy one without a good look at/feel of them unless I had $$ to burn ( or unless I was the most impatient SOB
around) . I'm the latter.
I love the Z5000 with the 5000GT spool. Time will tell if the thing can take the pounding I'm gonna give it.
