EricL Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) cleaning my collection display out a bit. if you never had a chance to buy the full gold color anodized Saltiga 30T 40 or 50, years ago, as it was extremely limited run. even I dont have any gold Saltigas in my collection. and i aint paying $600-900 for one. a great alternative was this JDM Sealine 600GM is it the same size as the Saltiga 40, as shown in the picture. The Saltiga 40 is not for sale, as thats my extra heavy heaver big bait reel. the 600GM's are about 20 years old. all bearings were changed out and cleaned/relubed all moving parts. everything works great. normal wear and tear on exteriors. spools has some corrosion but brushed them cleaned and shot gold paint to stop it from going anymore. just fully tape the arbor or line it with a full layer of thin mono before you load up braid. it has a lower gearing than the USDM Saltiga 30T 40 50 the sealine 600gm had a 4.2:1 ratio where as the USDM Saltiga had 4.9:1 it also had a higher max working drag at like 29lbs compared to the saltigas 25lb. more power!! best for heavy jigging, vertical jigging, bottom wreck fishing, even trolling if needed. i used them for cod and wrecks. lovely to work with. does not have clicker or pin brakes like the Saltigas and the 6 point drag star is a nice addition. nice blingly reel. did i mention its fully gold anodized? reel auto engages with handle crank. Stock drag materials works great. You can upgrade to carbontex if wanted by contacting dawn and buying the saltiga 30t 40 50 washers. no boxes or clamps. $320 shipped for the slightly nicer cosmetic one (left) $270 shipped for the slightly more worn exterior one. (right, its has some more scuffs on the left rim) take both for $520 shipped. Or cash local 11209 PPFF, VenmoFF, Zelle. If you want G&S +3% and I'll run it through my business PP invoice and potentially have to charge you sales tax. buy with confidence, as with any reel i part with. if you dont like it, or its not as described. i will always take it back. no questions.

EricL Posted December 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 The reason the reels are durable.. The gears are massive and chunky. It'a teeth are 4 quarters thick. Thats a new old stock spare gear and pinion I keep handy oldowan, Mike Mendez and ExcessiveAngler 3 i use 2/3 rule for trading. join date, posts, or vouch. whoever has less goes first.

EricL Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) bump, please dont let minor surface corrosion of the spool arbor turn your off. thats one of the places that has the least affects on a reels usage, until you corrode so badly, you literally have holes like a old car door panel, then, id be worried.

EricL Posted December 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Bumper. 500 shipped FYI. If you already have a Saltiga 30t 40 or 50. These reel parts are interchangeable. So you can make silver, blue, and gold two tone reels. Maybe a silver frame, blue spool, gold side plate.. Or a gold reel with blue spool. Etc.
