saltiga s-extreme

[Chuen Fan]

whats the differences between these and the normal z series saltigas apart from the bling red paint work and handle knob? internals r still the same right??

[Brandon Khoo]

I don't know for sure but I doubt anything material would have changed. Have you seen the price on them!?     

[Chuen Fan]

  OMG..!! wow.. what a price rise through the whole daiwa range.. though to be honest, their about the same price as when they first came out to oz..

[Peter Lowe]

From what I have been told the difference is in the drag, being different material and "special" grease as well as moving away from bearings in the handle / ball to bushes which should be more reliable and stop us from ripping the ball of mid fight......... apart from that and the colour all else is the same, as far as I am aware.

I am sure Duncan can tell us more if required......

A mate of mine owns a tackle shop and said daiwa has put up there prices across the range by 20-30% so no surprise they're pushing 1500

Ranga's???

Red Heads 

[Travis Heaps]

Yeah, was put out there on one of the other forums I visit that Daiwa would be putting their prices up +20% come the new year...

[Chuen Fan]

yeah, i think most manufacturer's have had a price hike since new years. shimano have had a 10-15% rise as well apparantly.. at least thats what the local shop said. rapala x rap 25 being sold at close to $50 each, nearly double their original retail price.. maybe its just my local shop?? can anyone else confirm??   ...

[Brandon Khoo]

when you look at the devaluation of the AUD against the JPY, the price rises are not surprising.

[Brandon Khoo]

bloody hell, it must be good grease, Jon!!

Brandon, I'm sure you've heard of the term Oil's aint Oil's. I guess in this case Grease aint Grease hehehehe

Hopefully the Aussie dollar will slowly improve as the year rolls on.
