slothparade Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have been looking for this rod but I have been told conflicting information. Firstly i emailed dawia and they said the SALTIST BW SJ 82XH SPIN and the Saltist Bw Sj 802 xh AO were the same. But theres a price difference of $25. Also they said the SALTIST BW SJ 82XH SPIN was a mid join instead of a butt join (at the top of the foregrip). This was different to the pictures I was given by someone and Dinga and Motackle when I emailed them about it. I was wondering if anyone could confirm the join is on the top of the foregrip and it has a rubber gimbal. Thankyou for your help in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savit Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have called Dinga to check the actual product in their warehouse in the past several times, and it took less than 5 min to clarify. I assume Motackle would do the same, and probably any other stockist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) My SJ 792H is joined at the butt. I'd be guessing but I'd imagine all the SJ's would be the same? I'd have check the Gimbal, for memory I think it has a removable cap over the gimbal grooves? Edited April 2, 2021 by kingie chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothparade Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 How well do you think it will cast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the way I see it & part of the reason I bought my rod at its length & weight was it was a bit of a combo rod, to be able to be used as a stick bait rod but also able to be a moderately heavy bottom rod. If your going to buy the HX version then don't expect it will cast as good as the lighter version. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im planning to use this for shark, king, jewfish ect. I was watching a video and it seemed to casts stick baits fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothparade Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Planning on paring it with a spinfisher 950 sss. I'm land based. It should go nicely right? I have plans on getting a slammer or a bg 6500 sometime. Edited April 5, 2021 by slothparade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
