Been looking at getting one of the new Saltiga 5000 high speeds for stickbating and the odd popper work, Will mainly be around Mayor , Schooner with a trip to the islands on my to do list . Has anyone used one? If so, how did you find it? I googled a review on it and they didn't seem to rate it as high as I would have expected. Any recommended places to get them from? Am currently based in Perth, But have no problems importing from Japan etc. Campbell

Digitaka is probably best place to get one. They are super good lookin. haven't had mine long enough to really rate it. Would probably choose it over a Stella but not much between them. ------------- I always tell the truth about things that never happened |

Hi guys Looking at getting a saltiga sent over from Digitaka.com (and save me a few hundred dollars) but I've heard that you cant get any servicing done on saltigas that you've imported yourself. Do you guys know if this is true?? How have you guys got around this?? .

gizzyK...Daiwa NZ wont service an imported reel but others will...it just means you will have to pay for the service but if you are willing to shell out the cost of a Saltiga surely you can afford a service once a season...try swordfishsteve at http://www.reelrepairguy.co.nz" rel="nofollow - http://www.reelrepairguy.co.nz ------------- if your boyfriend doesn't like fishing....you have a girlfriend |
