The current Saltiga had time to be updated and made better, and released in 2015.Ĭheck Daiwa’s site.

It’s available in the 5.1 which makes it great for fluke and blackfish. The Saltiga is also much smoother than the Trini. That in my book is a plus, but not a huge thing. It’s plastic on the Saltist, Trinidad, and Oce Jigger. But that side plate is also made of metal. That in itself is a very good design feature. The side plate comes off with the handle plate when you unscrew it for the quick change spool. Ive seen the break down of the new saltiga. At first it bothered me to pay that much for a reel not made in the US or Japan, but spend some time with it and you get over it quick. But i guess it’s cheaper for them to manufacture in Korea. The previous saltiga was manufactured in japan. Out od curiosity where did you get your Saltiga services at? Heard the sealed bearing needs to be serviced by Daiwa. After seeing and holding it’s honestly not much bigger then the Maxel. I was originally worried the pictures I saw the gear box looked oversized. But the Maxel is light enough so those two ounces wouldn’t even be noticed on a Black Hole Challenger. Surprised to hear it’s made in Korea I was told Japan but that person obviously didn’t know what they were saying. But I posted the same thread on a west coast site and I had an overwhelming amount recommend the Saltiga. Ive been dying for shimano to go left handed for them to own one. I’m surprised it’s better then the Trinidad.
