Is the Saltiga 30t too big and heavy for a Hiramasa 60b?
Submitted by kinga86 on Thu, 2008-10-16 20:54
As the title states. Tossing up between the 30 and the 30T. I like the 30T because of the clicker and narrow spool. The 30 is cheaper and smaller in diametre but wider, making it good for casting on my surf rod (I may end up buying a Saltiga surf as well!). It will mainly be used for bottom bouncing, live baits and light jigging 20-50 metres and might see a few sambo jigging trips as well.
Thanks for any opinions :)
P.S. I already own the rod, just trying to find the best Saltiga reel for it!

Price
Have you seen the prices? I'm thinking the exact same thing at the moment, but the prices aren't too cheap up here in Exmouth so weighing it all up.

The saltiga surf has a clicker, and cast control if you want to use it LB. Slighty cheaper for some reason, but it also comes with a balanced handle which is nice. Also over 100g lighter than the 30T.
