  1. I just found it on ********.co In sizes 8000 to 18000 of the Certate SW the line roller spins on a single ball bearing that is self-contained with its own mag-seals, while in sizes 5000 and 6000 the line roller spins on two normal ball bearings with both ends of the roller itself sealed with mag-seal plates. The smaller Certate SW reels therefore imitate the design of the 20' Saltiga's line roller. . * In sizes 8000 to 18000 of the Certate SW the bail arm has the familiar retainer screw that keeps the main roller assembly screw in place, while the small 5000/6000 reels don't have it due to dimensions constraints. The bail arm of the 20' Saltiga is made of a harder alloy so it no longer needed that secondary retainer screw. . * The handle's stem of the Certate SW is machined, as were the handles of the previous Saltigas, while the stem of the 20' Saltiga is forged. . * The Certate SW has a backup mechanical anti-reverse in sizes 8000 to 18000, just like the 20' Saltiga, while the small 5000/6000 Certate SW reels do not have that. . * Sizes 8000 to 18000 of the Certate SW have the new extremely loud drag clicker at the top of the spool, again exact same design as the 20'm Saltiga, while the 5000/6000 Certate SW retain the older sheet spring clicker beneath the spool which works fine but nowhere near as loud. . * Similarly, the 8000 to 18000 Certate SW sizes have the same large one-way clutch found in the 20' Saltiga, but that clutch wouldn't fit into the smaller 5000/6000 Certates therefore a different clutch is used in these two. . * And of course I don't need to point out the lower cost handle grips and other obvious external differences between the 20' Saltiga and the 8000-18000 Certate SW, or between 8000-18000 Certate SW and the 5000/6000 sizes.
  2. i have a Henri lloyd marine technology pant they said it's waterproof but it isn't. few hours of rain i will get get.. i believe i paid it for $110 4-5 years ago at west marine.
  3. I have the LT 2k and 3K not WS. they're basically the same body.. they're super smooth like a hot knife cuts through the butter.. believe or not, the LT is much smoother than the saltiga 2015. i'm so impress with the LT, so i want to do some research on the WS before give it a try.
  4. Yeah, i understand "you get what you pay for" but I only go one/week.. Simms is too expensive
  5. EliasA, your words made me feel the certate is more in freshwater than sw.. i thought the Certate is waterproof.. Thanks, man
  6. Hey Folks, what is your choice in 5-6K series? please give the good and the bad of each one if you can. Thanks
  7. I'm looking for a budget not more than $100 waterproof suit is there any recommend, people? how about Frogg Toggs All-Sport Rain and FROGG TOGGS Men's Ultra-Lite2 Waterproof Breathable Protective Rain Suit? they look cheap but as long as i don't get wet i'm cool with it Thanks

  9. Certate 2500S-XH is it a JDM? i don't see this model on Daiwa US website thanks
  10. sorry for the confusion.. i want to know the different LT US vs LT JDM and WS US vs WS JDM i updated and put some more details to void the confusion
  11. Hey Folks, LT US vs LT JDM and WS US vs WS JDM What are the different btw these Certate versions? I see the WS US version has the oval knob while the WS JDM has a round one but i don't know if they're different internal design. I don't see any different btw the LT versions Any thoughts? Please note: i'm not looking for the different btw LT vs WS, I want to know if JDM/US have different internal design. Thanks Ray
  12. Is it a good time to go out and hunt them? any report, people? Thanks
