The blast has 9 ball bearings , compared to 14 on the saltiga.
waterproof drags on both of them, only the saltiga has the body sealed, the blast doesn,t, according to daiwas web site.

to save 400$ ill get the blast rather than the saltiga.

I believe the gearing is the same...

The only problem is that they do not come in larger sizes.

Thanks!

Daiwa casts weird things. Even a Sustain has a machined handle.
