Chark, a question or two on these larger reels.
Are there any schematics online to admire? A poster on Alan's site mentioned that the small 10 has only one magnetic-fluid bearing inside, other bearings being standard stainless BBs. Is that true of the larger reels as well? And do the reels rely on an anti-reverse bearing, or are there dogs in the larger reels as well?

Bearing count and specs are posted. Not standard bearings, but rather Daiwa's CRBB versions on the Saltiga series reels. Two models have the mag fluid bearing, finished off with CRBBs'. Not sure if schematics are up yet on Daiwa's website, but they are in the boxes of reels. Reels have dog and bearing for AR. Zero "slop."

The weight given for the largest Saltiga, the 50, is given as the same weight of 14.3 oz. for the small 10. You might want to check that and fix it.

Lovely reels. Negotiating with wife.

Thanks for the help proofreading, much appreciated...and corrected.

Welcome. Christmas Day? We're both on the 'net?
We're doomed. Totally nuts.

Merry Christmas.

Well understood, and no doubt my writing can keep you busy while you're kept off the water.

Lost negotiation with wife. For the time being.
My birthday's in May. Heh heh heh.
