Saltiga LD 30 vs Saltist LD30 Twinspeeds
Submitted by crasny1 on Wed, 2011-02-02 14:10
After getting my Saltist and Monster Mesh combo stolen, thought I would go the saltiga LD30 Twinspeed instead (and replaced the trusted MM). Not much off an overhead man, more like an eggbeater all the time, was this a good move?
Have to admit the Saltiga weighs heaps less but IMO doesnt look as good as the Saltist. All my beaters are Shimano, but for some reason like the daiwa in OH. Am I wrong here also.
Basically will be used as a backup for BB and trolling, aswell as ballooning out the back of the boat for mackies etc. All my rods/reels sort off have to fill more than one role IMO.

the saltiga 2spd is 18 ounces
the saltiga 2spd is 18 ounces and the saltist 2spd is 15 ounces. they both have the same amount of bearings and the saltiga has 1kg more drag. ive got a saltist 50 2spd and its very smooth, but ive never had a play with the new saltigas but i imagine for the price they would be very good.

in the bigger reels the
in the bigger reels the saltigas have tonnes more drag, they sound pretty good for big sambo jigging,
have fun with your new reel
in most cases, i only use egbeaters for casting, overheads are good but can get annoying after a whole day
