Honestly, I see myself replacing my reel every few years, about 3-5 years on the average. I don't think any reel, no matter how well built or sealed it is, can withstand the effects of salt or the beatings it takes on the beach, the rocks, off a boat, or just on the pavewent when you're hustling to get to the beach.
Yes, it's expensive to have to expect to replace that reel, but it's just like a car, it's all eventually disposable for the newer and better reels that come out every few years.
I'd love to get a Saltiga or a Stella just because of the way you guys talk reverently about it, but I think it's just a little too rich for my blood, but certainly if I had the money, I'd throw it that way.
It's all about what you feel is what you can afford or what is best suited for your needs.
It's ridiculous to see how people talk in negative tones about those who are better off than we are and can afford that expensive piece of equipment. I remind myself and others that if we ever won the lottery, for sure we'd be buying the pimpest reel on the east coast.
