Pelagic reels? What about a Saltist 50?

franco802 · 07-04-2008, 10:47 AM

Anyone ever heard of Pelagic big game reels? Any good?

Also, I just purchased a Daiwa Saltist 50 high speed, anyone own one? How do you like them?

Mods, I think I put this in the wrong place. Could you move it for me? Thank you.

Where and how do you go about upgrading drags for a saltist 50?Any help would be appreciated? Not sure where to get the new components.

Have a saltist 50. Used it for deep bottom fishing off Hatteras. Caught many vermilion snappers. Like it very much. Bought it to use deep drop jigging off Palm Beach, but have not done it yet.

For the saltist 50 upgrade. Very easy to do. I got 25 lbs. of drag out of mine with the new carbon fiber washers.
