Have not used the new saltist 2016. But i have used a saragosa 10k sw. I liked it so much i bought a spheros 10k which is an identical reel bar speed ratio and a $6 ball bearing

i dont know how shimano justifies $100-$150 price difference when the main different component is a $6 ball bearing and bushing

i guess with the saltist you would have to worry about servicing the mag seal bearings

I bought a 4500 and 6000 saltiest and very quickly sold them on. I've owned a 8000 10000 and 25000 gosa which I've been very happy with. Personally I would get the 8000 gosa.

yeah im leaning towars the gosa mate thanks for your opinion

Any Daiwa Reel that has the "Mag Sealed" Bearings, I personally would stay away from

No one can service them except Japan ..... Now that SUCKS !!!

Go the Gosa, I have the older models, but if the newer ones are anything like the older versions , jump at them !!!

Saragossa is a great reel but is very heavy with the 8000 being 680g. I had one for jigging & it lasted a long time but for spinning from the rocks it is a bad choice. If you are looking to put a good action on surface lures & also be able to cast for hours on end you need to keep the weight down. Have a look at the Biomaster 8000, at 550g it much lighter & has a faster 5.7:1 gear ratio for better retrieve. The Gossa has a 5.6:1 ratio which is slower & more powerful (great for jigging/deep water work) & a full metal body to stop flex but ^ weight. 

The new Saltists are ok but I would save the coin & buy a Black & Gold if you want Diawa but you have to be happy with the T handle as it is not interchangeable with other real 4 reel handles. As for MAG seal I have a lot of diawa reals with it & have not had an issue. For an example I have changed the line roller bearing twice in my shimano Sustain & not once in either of my Certates that see more work. Diawa Australia are in Brookvale & can do all the servicing. I would go down to a shop & pick up the reals before buying them.

You are probably better off with a 6k if you are spinning lures. As an 8k would make your arms very sore as Towlersbay Boy

also note that daiwa bg isnt waterproof

 

I know reels not being waterproof is common, but every time it's pointed out I have this moment where I think that makes about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine.

It does help with accidental splashes and dunks

and hence why its classed as a saltwater reel

The Stradic 5000 fk is a good little reel for land based too if you want to keep the weight down, I've had one since they first came out which has been fantastic ( if only the kids would let me use it occasionally).
