PROChallenger Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Aww too bad, 300 was the secret number for me. God has spared my wallet this expense, and so it shall be. God might want you to use that expense to the new 2010 Saltiga. You know you love that Saltiga, pull that trigger...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to promote your business or products here, contact me privately and we can discuss it.

Ditch Jigger Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 *Sigh* How much is that gonna cost? Close to a grand, if not all the way there But----if you wait until the spring, you may be able to pick up one of the current 4000s or 4500s at a blow-out price, as shops try to clear them out in anticipation of getting the new versions As I understand it, Daiwa is only going to introduce those two sizes for next year in the US--release of the bigger models is supposed to be in 2012. But that could change, too. I don't know what the futre of "specialty" models like the Dogfight and EXP is. There are thinner 40# braids out there, than Power Pro. Try Samauri if you want a plugging braid. Or you could drop down to 30#, unless you're fishing around rocks. The bottom line is, with a reel that can hold 15# of drag all night, and a rod with backbone, there's no bass swimming that should empty 230 yards of braid on you. The world record was caught on a Penn 710 and 20# mono, and I doubt there was more than 150 yards of it on that reel.

Ditch Jigger Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Some showed up on ebay welll north of $1G. Wonder if shimano will 1 up saltiga in a year or so in terms of product and pricing..... Shimano usually "upgrades" their product line every 5 years or so. Next year is the third year for the Stella SW. Also, the Saltigas being sold on eBay are all JDM or other Asian market reels, and the exchange rate is an issue. Right now, it favors the yen. When they hit the US market, they may run something like $999. "…if catching fish is your only objective, you are either new to the game or too narrowly focused on measurable results.” - D.

speedracer Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm going to need to get a free reel for my own personal testing. I will make the results public as soon as the tests are completed. Please PM me for shipping info. You're getting sleepy. ....very sleepy.....

Alan Hawk Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I don't know what the futre of "specialty" models like the Dogfight and EXP is. Already discontinued in the summer. There is more of these two models stocked around because they sold more than the basic models 6000 & 6000GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
