Diawa Seagate Reels?

[Boatino]

Anyone seen these in person yet?  The SGTLW60H reels seems to have the capacity of a Tekota 800 but with a 6:1 gear ratio and upgraded drags.  $150 on FishUSA.  Might be changing over a few copper reels to them.  Any input is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

I have one John.  If you want to check it out, let me know.  Same drag as the Saltist reels and same gear ratio.  I fit a 350 copper on it with 300' of 50lb power pro backing.

Brian,

 

300ft. of 50lb. Power Pro or 300 yds?

I have one and my first impression is favorable.  I spooled 150yds of hi-vis yellow 50lb Power Pro and as much 45lb Blood Run Copper as I could get on it (maybe 450' or so) with a 30' Fluoro Leader.  The reel appears to be of great quality but time will tell as it gets used this year.  Definitely priced well for what you get compared to models with similar capabilities.

300 yds of 50lb power pro and 350' of copper.

I just bought 2, one with blood run copper 32# at 550', 30' of mono then backed with 150 yards of 832 braid, The second one same but only 450' of 32# blood run copper

Any new input on this reel? I have a 800 Tekota I was considering selling to go high speed.  My friend is letting me borrow one so i will get a chance to use it myself but only for a couple days. 

 

How have you guys been liking it so far this season any issues?

Have a Seagate 60 for my 400' copper and love it, have a convector for my 300 copper and it's a piece of crap

Cool thanks, I have a 50 size Saltist for 300 already and love it, i heard the drags and speed are the same
