kevin B Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 What a happy chappy i am! Bought this one for chasing kings off the rocks and from the boat. The max line weight is 37kg braid, but it feels like a light weight, weighs 300grams or so. Had to express my joy with people who know what buying a new rod feels like.

stevefish Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Yes those saltiga rods are nothing but fishing weaponry. I havent used one but looked closely at them and loaded them up in the shop a few times when trying to find a rod for my torsa. there is not one in the range that quite suited my needs but they seem like damn TUFF rods. Hard to believe the power that comes out of something so skinny. I would be interested to hear the experts/shearwater opinion. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve In the moment i forgot to ask for an opinion on here, especially from shearwater. No doubt the opinion will be something like "yeah, those things are the most overpriced.........".

Hope the new weapon serves you well, and looking forward to a few reports of it in use. Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharky Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Awsome choice there mate. Those Saltega go hard. If you have a reel to match your set especially on big kings just lock up the drag and scull drag the buggers to the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
