Very interesting Jay and thanks. Nobody reviews a reel quite like Alan Hawk :o.
I was unaware of the significantly increased line capacity of the new small Saltigas. That has to be a plus for the popping fraternity.
The rest of Alan's review hardly makes you want to run out and buy one in preference to a Stella though.
Brandon Khoo:
yes, his review was less than complimentary in comparison against the 08 Stella. Anyway, I've got one so will be in a position to do a field test side by side against the Stella in a fortnight's time. No better way of doing a comparison.

Will you be testing it for popping Brandon?

I was lucky enough enough to demo a 5000H over in NZ last week. Gotta say it feels really nice. Interesting review, particularly when you look at the price they are asking (compared to the stella).
I think one of its greatest criticisms is also one of its greatest virtues though, I have about 4 spare 4500 spools looking for a new home, and I reckon a new 5000H will have me covered for PE4, Pe5 and now Pe6 work - with the collection of spools - you gotta love that.
I reckon the longer handle that comes with the saltiga (compared to a stella - even a yumeya long handle) makes a huge difference in comfort and leverage for a reel of that caliber!
I like it! Saltiga 2010 - "Old Skool".....cool.
