The internal gears and parts on the Saltigas are designed and manufactured to be very strong and have high tolerances for power, torque, and durability - and they are very smooth as well. They are designed as offshore big game reels - if that tells you anything about the reels.

Well that would be ur Opinion..
Like i said too small for me..
I guess thats why they make so many different size reels.
I have one in the 5000 size i agree they are super reels nothing like em on the market if u ask me.
I think they should make something in between the 4000 series bodies an the 5000 series bodies.The bigger reels are way to heavy to fish the surf with.

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

not in my opinion, atleast not if you're a Cromagnum Neanderthal

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.
