--- Quote from: Sachin Chaudhry on October 26, 2011, 08:43:18 PM ---Its for the reasons expressed in the reel review here. The mag seal does not work as well in the real world. The Stella still has the better drag and even to the point where bail arm flex under heavy drag came up as an issue. There were 4 other seasoned anglers with him and they all expressed the same concerns. I do not know how much use they put them through but the opinions were unanimous and unflattering as far as the Saltiga was concerned.

Thanks. The Allen Hawk review from Dan Wulf's link interestingly finds problems with the mag seal and bail arm flex. That Allen guy knows his reels!

Mark Harris:
Seems there is astrological pattern that determines this subject must be raised every few months :) .

For what it is worth, my opinion remains the same as ever - both are exceptional reels (although I can only profess experience with old Saltigas - I can't speak for the new Saltigas until they bring one out in a proper large size).

I own various Stellas and Saltiga Dogfight and Expedition. Have caught fine fish with them all and they are all all top notch reels. To be calling any of them rubbish is patently nonsense.

Brandon Khoo:
You have been out for a while, Mark! The new 6500 size Saltigas are out now.

Mark Harris:
Ah! :-[  Indeed I have Brandon - a lot happens in a few months :). I will certainly be getting my hands on one.

Do you have one yet? If so, how's the feel compared to an old Dogfight?  I know that like me, you were a fan of the old Dogfight.
