Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
Selected Budget Tackle-Up to the task??
Mark Harris:
I have already recommended Saragosa 18000 twice in this thread Patrick. Whenever we have these discussions about middle market reels for GT fishing, this one seems to come up as the favoured recommendation.
Bernie Keys:
Slightly off topic but may be relevant. :(
Heard a whisper that Jarvis Walker soon is likely not to distribute Penn and there will be a raft of "Penn like" reels from china being distributed by Jarvis Walker ;)
On the Torque reel review, don't forget USA reviewer for a USA reel... :), but not a bad depth to details & explanation in the review.
Patrick Parisienne:
You're right about the Saragosa's Mark, by bad........
Steve Li:
Can consider the Saltist 6500 from Daiwa too. Have only heard positive feedback from ppl who have used it. There was a group who were using Saltists in Southern Oman on monster GTs and the reels performed to expectations........ And they look pretty slick too!
;)

Its a bang for your buck rating and the new Saltigas cost much more than the USA Stella let alone the Torque. Not saying its a lousy reel in this company just that the $/performance equation is stronger in this case.
