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.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I fished with 2 local guys last week in Montauk.We went down the south side a few points got way out an fished offa some rocks>In a good swell.every 10 mins or so u get knocked off.They Had been usin their Saltiga 4000 series reels for 2 yrs with no care other than some fresh water every now an then.They loved em.
They are a very fine tuned machine make a VS look like a 706.I think the power of the Saltiga is what put that jig into my noggin.
I'm sold.Now if I could just catch a fish on mine..

What about the original question.

Anyone got any answers? I've got the thing apart and I'm looking at the damn spool washers with a magnifying glass right now in order to figure this out.

that's great Jim, now you're all set I bet. good to see you figured it out, I knew ya could. see you out there soon.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
