Has anyone actually used one of the new 6500 Saltigas? Would love to hear about it if they have.
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
