2010 Saltiga vs. Stella SW

[Mark Harris]

Reviving this thread .

Any more users bought and used a 2010 Saltiga and care to share their views?

I am seriously considering getting a 5000H for use as a PE6 casting reel.  Cant seem to find the capacity for PE6 but I reckon 220-230 would be possible without overloading. My local tackle store will do me a deal from stock on a 5000H at the equivalent of  AUD1000.

Is there a spool upgrade for the 2010 Saltiga, equivalent to the SOM 16000 that's available for the Stella SW10000?

I have not yet heard of one Jay. 

SOM have produced a lot of Daiwa spools in the past so it would not surprise me at all if there is one or at least one in the works.  A 6000 Daiwa size SOM spool to go on the 5000H would be a great move and make it much more GT popping friendly. Loaded with PE6 I was thinking of it for light GT work and also for tuna casting.

The SOM website is not very English friendly but this seems to be the latest gallery of their Daiwa spools:

Hi Jay, No SOM spool for 2010 Salting has been released yet.
