Daiwa catalina vs daiwa saltiga, help please

[tinnyman]

Hello
Im looking at purchasing a new spinning reel for jigging. I have looked at the Daiwa Catalina 6500 and the Daiwa Saltiga expedition 6500.
what i would like to know, is the saltiga worth the extra $500 (aussie dollars) over the catalina.
Does anyone here have a Calalina?? Are you happy with it?
I plan to use ot for Jigging In New Zealand for monster yellowtail kingfish, and back home in australia for Yellowtail and small tuna etc.
thanks in advance

With spinners, you get what you pay for. Reelseller on ebay has been good to jiggers over the past few years.

It is easy to find a good conventional that is inexpensive and good quality, but not so easy with spinners.

i know what you mean but i find it awkward to jig with a conventional
