So...I have decided its time for a upgrade!
Ive had my saltist 30h for a few years now
Im gonna start something that should be kept silent! Lol

I have a Saltiga 40HK in mind.

Opinions? And WHY!!!! Will be using it with a Fin-Nor 6-8oz 14ft graphite (think thats the spec)

I mainly target eds or anything that bites for that matter! Lol

Most replies will most probly be from all the Shimano heads....but hey

Im open minded!!! Hahaha:fbash

Looks like you have a decent budget so you can add the Penn Torque 30 or 40 to your shortlist as well. If not that big a budget have a look at the Penn Fathom 30 or 40.

I owned the Saltiga 40HK, lovely casting reel, only downfall in my view, it is heavy.

I now own the Trini 30A, it balances all rods ranging from 5oz upwards. It's light and I have 600m Bully Braid and 200m Mono, 0.47mm.

THE BEST CASTING REEL I HAVE EVER OWNED...!!!

My observation is that you are about to put a Ferrari engine in a beach buggy.....maybe split that budget and upgrade the rod and reel....

All the reels in that price range will be great.

Craig has made a fair point. I feel your rod is way to heavy for a Size 20 reel, that is more of a in-ed red you have.

Try and get a medium rod, the Assasin medium, BM 4-6oz, Shimano Technium medium or something in that class.
