Ben Crarer:
Is the S-EXTREME MAVERICK 6500H replacing the dogfight? same reel dressed up? or new reel?

Any one put it through its paces?

Aaron Concord:
Ben,

The S-extreme Maverick came out a few years back.  It was an Aussie only retrofit.  The main thing being a full carbon drag.

Daiwa released an even more recent range in 2010 which has more advancements throughout the whole reel.

Cheers mate!

Would you say the 2010 is a better reel than the doggy / mav?

Aaron Concord:
Ben,

I'd say yes, it is a better reel than the Dogfight.
The drag is better straight out of the box since they use carbon friction washers.
Also, the new magnetic sealing that they use for the main shaft makes the reel feel far less hard to wind as well, since the main shaft isn't sliding up and down through a rubber ring anymore.  There is less resistance.
I played with a few on Sunday arvo while trying out some new Carpenter rods and they were quite nice.

Cheers,

Aaron.

Adrian Braun:
My vote is Stella  for smoothness and toughness, but both Stella and Saltiga reels are high end and they will not disappoint.
