Marcio Paes was using them at Bugatti this year. They performed as you would expect

Dear Mark,
I found out that the new saltiga 6500 is very comparable with stella 18k.
It was paired with EP85/36 filled with Avani GT PE8.
The drag is smoother compared with the DF6500 (carbontex).
One thing that i dont like is the rubber washer in-between the handle and the body.
It tends to peel out / missing if you are not careful.
And the price......gosh...currently the most expensive spinning reel in Malaysia.

just my 2 cents
cheers
izhan

Mark Harris:
Thanks for that Izhan.  Really appreciated.

On the price, if the smaller new Saltigas are anything to go by, it will drop. Upon first release in Indonesia, they were close to $150 more than you can currently buy one for.
