RedGreen Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Fair. I wouldn't take a saltiga swimming with me though. Magseal vs oil seal is no comparison. I'll take the makaira if it's going to be underwater a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokahey Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’ve had the saltiga 2020 8000h for this last season and it is hands down the nicest reel I’ve ever owned paired it with century surf machine elite 12ft 3/4-4oz rod and I am bombing 160 yard cast with it with 30# braid. When hooking up on fish the pickup speed and sheer power in the gearing allows you to winch or muscle a fish in a way that is almost as good as intercourse haha . If you truly want to enjoy a reel while fishing I urge a purchase for this reel . I also recommend buying the after market round knob I do not like the oversized egg knob for popping any type of controlled top water bait it just feels weird in the hand On revolution. Hope this helps . ps I’ve never even touched a Stella but I don’t think I’ll ever need too since this reel makes all my dreams come true (*member formerly known as 'Califulltiltfishing') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewestGuyOnStripersOnline Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I just wish they made the Saltiga in a 5k. cbinvb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierce Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I got a 20k saltiga 2020 for jetty n surf fishing, friends call me crazy for using such a big size for the surf but i am happy with my reel. So far no complain, hook up a croc once no problem, end up cutting off the line with the help of some other anglers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably buy a 6K makaira and saltiga if they were announced, then immediately sell most every other spinner I own.

Shakeyfly Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 13 hours ago, RedGreen said: Confirmed just now by a contact, 2020 saltiga has identical servicing and support as the exist. Same as the Stella. Unlimited servicing over 5 years and no charge expedited shipping back. Do they have to go back to Daiwa North America in CA? Or do local shops honor that?

saltydav1d Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I've fished both a saltiga 5000h 2015 model and a newer shimano stella 8000 hg at the ditch. both are great at fishing that area. I would recommend a bigger sized reel if you like to cast and burn in your lures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Saltiga just change the numbering system around on their reels? The new 8000 is equivalent to the old 5000. 20SALTIGA has been changed new model system by full model changeover.The table below is comparison with 15SALTIGA system chart. https://www.daiwa.com/global/ja/fishingshow/2020ss/saltiga/reel/en.html GTs_and_Stripers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in a manner of speaking they do - the Bay Jigging series. That series was the precursor to the new body types the 2020 Saltiga spinning reels are sporting...But the rotor is still in the same style as the 2015 Saltiga ForheadDivit06 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy has one, if I have issues with my smaller spinners I'll probably pick up one of those. A 6K 20 saltiga though... Mmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk20a3 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I just wish they would release an "official" tool to open the side plate. I know they won't release the mag fluid because they consider it "controlled", whether that's true or not or just Daiwa talking who knows. But with the monocoque body opening the side just to check for potential water intrusion would be a big plus before sending it in for service/guessing. Especially now that it's trickled down to even the BG MQ, opening that up for a good greasing would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbars Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 On 3/10/2021 at 6:29 PM, ged said: For the canal, I would take the Stella due to their platinum service. Best in the business, until they run out of parts Daiwa may be preferred by some at least initially, but if you had an issue you would want to have a Stella. I would take issue with that never had a problem with daiwa service department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had either, but I never had them service my reels before I have read enough service issue threads to be worried. Shimano Platinum service is the best. $30 and like new.
