For some reason it's production & distribution is being delayed...


Toby - how are you making out with your Saltiga?

I will ditto on the crap service with daiwa....a few years ago I bought a daiwa emblem XIA for bonito fishing he derby....loved the reel and then smoked goes that bearings...3 week turn around and two outings later back to the factory...three weeks later it comes back....a week of fishing and back to the factory....reel never was right again...in my basement for two years now as I got tired of fighting with daiwa....

I just bought the Emblem Pro for distance spinning but do not trust Daiwas customer service

They've been working on that bad boy for years. 2+ that I've known about at least. They've told me it's going to be surf friendly, but I'll belive it when I see a final production model I can take for a spin. Their real focus is the West Coast tuna crowd.

The 2 prototypes I've seen were bulky and heavy and didn't seem sealed in any way. That reel in the pdf definitely looks like a more refined reel then what I've seen though. Expect big $$, but also an incredible spinning reel.

Yeah -- seems much more like an offshore boat reel...
