NEW SALTIGA EXPEDITION REELS
Mark Harris:
yes that goes without saying Dan.
Dan Hanon:
Mark, my comment wasn't directed at you, but rather the more impressionable GT gear consumers, like myself. I've seen guys sell their brand new Stellas, only to buy the new Saltiga, surely influenced by Alan Hawk's glowing review. That's an emotional response, not a logical one. The Saltiga sounds like a great reel, but consumers do often make knee jerk purchases. But, it's only $$$....
Mark Harris:
I thought it would be useful to post that the Expedition 5500H arrived today.
The line cap stated by Daiwa is VERY conservative. I just got on 235-240 metres of Varivas Avani GT Max PE8 and the spool is not overloaded. From a line cap viewpoint, this makes the reel a valid GT option out of the box. The equivalent of a Stella 10000 with 16000 after market spool.
Whether it is up to it mechanically, I will find out next week I hope!
Ben Yeo:
It is Mark, you wont be disappointed.
I'll be getting a second one before my next trip.

Kenny Tan:
Is 6500H same as 8000H in terms of parts and built just the difference in capacity?
Still deciding between the two S. :-\
