Has anyone used the new Diawa Saltist reels? Wondering how they are?

We ran the 30 size for the last 4-5 weekends of our season, so we have some seat time with them but not a ton. I would say I noticed an improved clicker, great drag, and good balance. Overall, I like them so far.

Were you using the 30s for Diver Rod’s/Riggers? Correct me if I’m wrong the 30s are equivalent to a 600 Shimano Tekota.

The 40’s are in between a 600 and 700 Shimano Tekota?

The 50s are equivalent to a 700 Shimano tekota?

We ran them on riggers and divers. 

 

30 is like a 600 Tekota

50 is like a 700 Tekota

Thank you for clarifying.
