The big moment finally arrived today.After spending an hour with my boet in his garage comparing his saltist/saltiga (whichever is the cheaper one) he has diecided to convert.We mounted them up with a digital weighing scale and pushed the drags as hard as they would go.
RESULTS
Daiwa 6,8kg drag and spiking all over the place from 4,2 to a max of 6,8
Shimano 8,7kg and a max variation of 500g.
Now the daiwa is up on offer.Its brand new ( used twice) and is available for swop to a brand new torium 30.
