The new toy

Picked up my new toy last night

 

 

 (Sorry about the phone camera)

 

Thought i would give the new Saltigas a go, Im not starting a stella VS Saltiga thread as i love both reels, just a post to share the love with you guys. A big thankyou to the guys at Bluewater Morley for being patient and putting up with me.

In both. I am a drifter between Diawa and Shimano. Like Diawa Rods better for some reason (perhaps they choose better names) but have Shim reels on most.

Latest weapon is a saltiga 30 OH 2S on a matching monster mesh and cant wait to play with something decent. Just Big wirlie wirlie interupt the plans.

Have a ball.

 Nice reel, that thing will give years of good service. 

Agree with Ryan C, I own Stellas and Saltiga reels and both have their strong points, but I think the Saltiga rods are in a league of their own.

Very noice, I've been wanting a Saltiga Dogfight for quite a while now. That one has me thinking a bit harder now.
