You Suck Toby! You get to fish Cutty and Block back to back, tons of sweet fish, and really work out that reel. I hope you have lousy time on Block and only get one fish (a Fifty ) and really test out that reel!

Good luck - sounds like a real sweet reel!

Thanks & good luck,


John

I cannot believe how much they jack up the price for a spinning reel.
I have to agree though, daiwa dominates on quality.

Saltiga Baitcaster is $400 to bad its hard to work a plug with one

agreed, good report toby. i still cannot believe you wetsuit for those 20#+ scup!

so, who else has a saltiga to critique after the season thus far? i'm still pleased w/ my vs250 in the wash and rocks. of course, nothing like the pressure put on a bass w/ an abu 7000c3.

I saw one of those on that AUCTION SITE at the time high bid 220.00 buck. If I wasn't going on a hunting trip I would be biding. THomt

This is my second full season with the Saltigas, and while I don't fish as hard as Toby from reading his posts, my reels are as good as new. The reels have experienced plenty of dunks, splashes, and some nice fish.

These have been my only years without any reel problems, and that includes 2 years fishing Van Staals and a few years fishing Ahab's.
