Daiwa Saltist 40H or Torium 30

[nico2584]

Ek is seker ek begin nou weer iets wat kon gebly het! lol

Wat is die beter katrol?

Saltist 40H of Torium 30??

Het op die oomblik die saltist en almal karring oor die torium?

Is dit REGTIG soveel beter?

Gan dit gebruik saam n sensation rugged 3 (6-8OZ) 14FOOT!

Target maar meestal eds

Dankie ouens

Ek het n Torium 30 en het al gevis met die Saltist 40. Albei is baie goeie katrolle en sal die werk kan doen. As jy al kla die Saltist het, hoef jy nie n Torium te kry nie.

As ek nie een van die katrolle gehad het nie sou ek vir die Torium gegaan het net omdat hy die goedkoper opsie is, maar soos ek gese het altwee is great katrolle en jy kan nie verkeerd gaan met enige een van die twee nie.

I would go for the Saltist BG40. It casts far and comes with carbontex.

As jy 'n Saltist het, bly by hom, geen rede om te verander, behalwe persoonlike voorkeure.

Saltist 40 = Torium 20

Just recently got the torium30. Haven't got to fish it yet, but seems really nice. Been casting it a bit and really does cast nicely. Just one thing though. When you get it the spool is nice and loose and spins for quite a while. After a few casts that seems to stop and not sure why. It doesn't become tight or anything, just not quite as loose as it should be. Seems to be the same with all the other toriums I've cast. I haven't used the saltist but from what I've heard it's really nice.

As Koper said the saltist40 compares to the size of the Torium20. I have both the saltist40 and torium20 and the only difference is I cast a bit further with my saltist.

I had problems with the star drags and spool releases on both my saltist's. Replaced about four years ago and have not had the problem again.

I prefer my shimano's off the bricks and for sharks and my daiwa's off the beach for edibles. Just personal choice.


FISH THE REEL YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.

Have you oiled the bearings and given the reel a service? Once you've oiled the bearings you'll see how that Tor 30's spool spins when fully loose. It's crazy.

Try checking your cast control knob I'd bet my front teeth this isn't a valid point for all Toriums, I fish mine hard and often and they cast like crazy. Its all about the service and maintanence inlvolved in keeping them up to scratch. Id be willing to leave my torium in a bucket of water (which i often do to prove a point to stubborn anglers) and then cover it with sand and cast a SOLID shot with it.

As stated the Saltist 40 should be compred with a Torium 20 when it comes to size. If the intended target is eds then either will do but the Torium 30 is overkill. I have a Saltist BG40 and it casts very well but i cant get it wet or its instantly full of sand and scrathces and sreetches.

If you have a reel that YOU decided on and that currently works for then stick to that, No need to conform to the hype involved in brands. Each to his own.

I have a finnor which i haven't even used (sponsored at nationals) and the Saltist BG40 i hardly fish simply because of the trust I have in my Toriums. The reels are all good reels but i just have faith in my reels that have proven themselves.

Is casting knob the thing that sets how tight the spool is? I have it set on the loosest it can be withouth the spool being able to rattle. If it gets worse I'll take it in. Even with it on loosest it can go it doesn't spin longer than about 3 seconds.

 

[pringle]

3 seconds? Thats not right. Just take your reel to Keith or Jonathon. With line on it should spin better but 3 seconds isn't right. Do you service you reels?

 

[David Taylor]

Once I've finished paying back my parents for the braid and topshot and all that I'm going to take it in to get carbontex drag washers and get the guys to get it to spin really long. I'm not entirely happy with how it's spinning. How much to get it serviced? I'm currently in R400 debt to my parents.

 

[pringle]

Keith charges R100 to cut my spool and to do a clicking pawl and full service. Carbontex is around R200. If its a new reel theres no immediate need for carbontex especially if you aren't fishing for sharks.

Just service your reels and you wont have issues
