Title: 2015 Saltiga dogfight
Post by: Khai Huang on April 26, 2015, 10:34:19 AM

Hi, just trying to decide on a new toy for an upcoming trip.

Wondering if anyone knows what are the differences between the 2015 saltiga dogfight 8000h and the new expedition 8000h?

The weights are slightly different, same drag, gear ratio's also slightly different as far as I can tell.
Price is pretty much the same.

Thanks

I've been looking at this reel too. As far as I can tell besides the color, the drag knob is plastic compared to the Expedition. The Dogfights drag is supposed to be new too. I just got the new Saltiga 6500H with the new drag. Need to put some fish on it to see how good it is or isn't.
