only the old FI stradic is high ratio. The new are low ratio, as is the saragosa I believe.
therefore I'd go the Saltist, allthough 6500h is very large. A 5000h would be my pick, which is still bigger then the 8000 stradic (bout the same as 10K shimano)

what rod are you putting it on willz?

reckon getting a good balance is important if you are gonna spend a few hours casting at a time.

The 5000H is actually heavier than the 6500H... think they are the same body just different capacity

The 4500H is lighter, but less drag.

Yeah, it's a pity Daiwa NZ don't bring the high speed Catalinas in. The Catalina 5000H looks to have great specs for topwater.

Yep, pretty much the same specs as the Salitiga. Hope to have one here very soon.... http://www.digitaka.com/item.php?icid=11&id=908" rel="nofollow - http://www.digitaka.com/item.php?icid=11&id=908
