Daiwa Saltiga Game 3500

Some like the looks of this new reel but some feel that it looks cheap...

Someone had actually ordered this reel from a local tackleshop but later he decides not to take it as he doesnt like the look of it.

To me, I cant decide to like this reel yet as I feel that the reel looks a bit plastic... maybe due to the many imitations out there that this reel seems to look alike with those cheap cheap reels in the market.

Otherwise, this reel has a 7kg drag and a great line capacity for some medium bluewater fishing. The handle feels solid and strong and as usual, the knob looks ugly to me. I would definitely change it than to use it... It doesnt feel as smooth as the Daiwa Certate 3500HD but it sure feels stronger and tougher when I crank it.

The reel is priced over seven hundreds... (I dont know what is the best price yet.) This reel might gives angler a second chance to think about the Certate 3500HD.

This reel is so new and I have not heard about its performance out there yet. If you have used this reel and feel that you want to share about it, please tell me and I will blog about it.

Today, Singapore has two more Daiwa Certate 2500R-custom proud owners. Some stocks arrived this morning in the shop and by mid noon, two 2500R-custom are sold. Small reels like this sure allures angler's heart to the maximum... kekeke. I am one of those too but I have no regards... somehow 'Magic' is in the air... I am blessed to land a sailfish of reasonable size (est. 25kg) with this little reel.

My next reel happens to be in the 3500 range... Now I have two choices... I think I need to go sleep liao... (so that I dont think and think about what reel to get...)

Good night.
