They say that Fred is a lineal descendant of the bird that reached out and touched Eagle Gibbs

Oh, JP bought a VS. I have two. And they're no bargains when it comes to laying line evenly, either

are the saltigas sealed like a VS? I had mine in the sand and submerged for the better part of 5 hrs sun night and fished it last night, couldn't even tell i had abused it the night before.
more abuse will be taking place tonight

The Saltiga may be sealed, but the close tolerances between the spool and the rotor can cause sand jamming issues. It's more of a reel for the rocks.

There's a place in most anglers' arsenals for both reels, IMO. The Saltiga drag is about the best there is, and the innards are strong enough.
