I've fished a few Saltests and Stella's, in all honesty, without being all technical, ford vrs Holden.
A guy I take heed of, Alan Tani, does some great break downs and assessments of most reels, he's worth looking up and reading his findings.
There's not a hell of a lot in it between the top end spin reels, some have certain benefits over others.
It's the old story, the Merc's of the 70's were crap and I'll never ever buy one scenario....
My next big purchase is going to be a Saltest, never owned one, thought I'd have a go at it....
Fish with what makes ya happy I say, the hype is just sales and marketing...
