I know the drags are in no way comparable to Stellas out of the box,  but that is the only thing Stellas have on Saltigas. IMHO Saltigas are the shizz-nitz. ;D

We will have to agree to disagree there. Stella is number 1 IMO ;)

Stopped using Saltigas quite a while back and have never regretted it. Should never have bought one in the first place >:(

at least yours didn't break!!!  ;D

Saltigas are my choice hands down.

Che,
I prefer the 'silver' of the GT to the black of the DF or blue of the EXP.

As such, I have a GT + SOM ST6500V11 spool with CTex washers + radiation drag knob + power round knob.  I like the retro look of the straight SOM handle so will add one of these to the set up.

I thought this was all.......now I hear CRBB bearings?  can these be added to the GT?

best regards AWP

PS Brandon the 10000 spool with the narrow lipped profile is the same as the std GT spool, casts equally as well.

PPS I have some nice shots of my rig but file size is too large.....I'll resize & repost pics, very cool

Brandon Khoo:
sound like you've made a $1000 reel into a $1500 reel, Andrew!!  ;D
It even sounded bloody good - radiation drag knob!!  :D
