Do YOU have this reel?
Looking to buy a new reel for my jig stick.
Choices are narrowed down to these two: Saltist Lever Drag Hyper Speed 7.3 : 1 Saltist Lever Drag Conventional 6.3 :1 Price is the same. If you own one or used one, please share your pros and cons. Thanks, Matt |

I have the STTLD 20H. Bad little reel! So far the biggest thing I've caught on it is a 50 lb bat ray. Caught a small wsb on it too. Super smooth right outta the box.
Gonna pick up the hyper speed one for fishin leopard grouper in Baja.

I have the 30 2 speed. Its a great reel I used to have a toriumn but the daiwa feels better and cast better. High speed for jigs and yoyoing, then drop it into low and drag them in. I did however upgrade the drags to carbontex, but that's a personal preference, I never used the stock ones.

Both of those reals are great. A buddy of mine has a saltist 2 speed and it's an amazing little real. That said, and while lever drags have come a very long way in size and free spool, you might want to go with a star drag for pure castability. My ancient Newell 338 will out cast about every lever drag real. There are a bunchof great casting star drags out there and they tend to cost less than lever drags. Newell, Daiwa Sealine or thier new Saltist star drag, Toriums, even step up to a new trini. I borrowed a frieds Avet when they first came out. He had it on his surface iron rod and while it casted fairly well I did get tired of the long lever drag throw to hit the free spool. Just my 2 cents. Mike
