No comparison. Like the others have already said the Saltist is inferior. Like the whole Saltist range they have a big issue with durability, and the difference in warranty periods reflect this shortfall. My Saltist 30TH overhead was one of the most over-hyped/poorest performing reels I have ever owned- yet also one of the most expensive. Same thing for my mates who shelled out for Daiwa Zillions- hopeless drag compared to a Calcutta. Out of the Stradic Vs Saragosa the latter is far better for braid over 30lbs as the drag is slightly more powerful in relation to reel size.
