I picked up a Saragossa 18000 when they first came out in 2008 and thrashed it for the first year jigging, it's still going strong with some jigging but mainly used on a 7ft Calstar using Stickbaits and medium Poppers, has not missed a beatThumbs Up.]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2010 23:47:26 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56283&PID=807435&title=saragosa-or-saltist#807435 <![CDATA[saragosa or saltist : sweet cheers guys, think I&#039;ve...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56283&PID=805251&title=saragosa-or-saltist#805251 Author: riga

I've spooled up a Saragosa 14000 and found the line lay a bit disconcerting, it ribs up a fair bit, a repeated line lay on top of the previous one not oscillating and spreading it more evenly.  Sure it does the job well enough and has been designed with some tuff work in mind.

I have the previous model Twinpower and a Catalina aswell, and rate both of these highly.  I use the Twinpower for casting, stickbaits etc. Catalina more for jigging. Can't speak about the Saltist..  

Look at retrieve rates, overall weight and spool design if you plan on casting with it a lot.

Cheers David

See comments below from one of our clients in Africa, He loves his Saltist 6500.
Picture 17kg threadfin.


"Greg,

Good morning.

I forgot to send this one. This can provide a better idea of the size. You can use this one to convince people to buy the 6500, if they have doubts about the drag system.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers, M"

"Greg,

Good morning.

Went fishing this afternoon (I am still on Friday), a tarpon and some jacks jumping in front of me, however no bites.. The 6500 is really sweet when used with poppers."

 

"Yesterday I used the Saltist, it worked ok ( 10 kg threadfin and 7 kg bass) considering that I had to face bigger waves than on Saturday. "

it won't be my sole jigging setup unlimited, but will come in handy to use as a jigging setup on a jig stick too, only a minute to change over really.
 
sorry about that you must know what your doing when it comes to changing leaders for casting and jigging and that stuff

been using the saragosa for a while now and reckons its not a bad reel. No stella or anything but a good value reel for the $$. Only using an 8000 size  though and found the 18000 size reels a bit chunky.

I see killacustoms on here has a 1400fb spheros for sale for $450, new spooled with braid and a upgraded handle. Could be a good option.
