I'll let you know. 
But, I seriously doubt it - not with the 5000Z. |

Now there seems to be another issue with the reel. Over the weekend, a noise developed. At first I thought the roller bearing was shot, but I still hear the sound with the spool removed. It is sort of a "swooshing" noise from within the reel. Definately sounds like some sort of bearing crapped out.
BM - I got a bit of sand in the reel this weekend as I was fishing a rocky/sandy beach. More than a little sand got under the spool as I took a few waves. One quick dunk, and she was nice and clean. The reel didn't grind up like a VS or 706 does when sand gets in it. By the design of the spool, it seems to let less sand under the reel.

If the 5000Z should break on a canal fish, It'll be the least of my problems.

Must be a cast frame on those reels, judging by the video and Toby's breakage. They certainly look cast. It seems like a nice reel, but for what they ask for it they really should step it up a notch and go with a machined frame. Daiwa would never have to worry about a video like in Leptar's link or Toby ripping the foot off ever again. The VS frame is machined and the reel costs less...  |

Thanks for the updates on the Saltiga guys. I've only used mine a couple of times so far but it has worked well. Its been hit with some sand and I hear it sort of grinding out but its back to normal after a few seconds.
Are you guys noticing better casting than a large spool diameter such as teh VS?
Also, what is the best way to service this reel, and how much do you think it will cost? I'm guessing it would be a good idea to bring it to an anuthorized Daiwa dealer?
Thanks!

Guys-
Check this reel out.

For some reason it's production & distribution is being delayed...
Toby - how are you making out with your Saltiga? |
