Daiwa Saltist- thanks Jeff

[Capt. Fred]

Hi Jeff, I got the reels yesterday. Nice little rigs alright. Thanks for the great price and for throwing in the freebies. I'll use those sabiki's next summer. I mounted one the live bait rod I've got here at home and it is a perfect fit. Real nice balance. I cranked it up to what felt like about 15 lbs of drag (my scale is down on the boat) and rod and reel seemed real happy when I picked up my bucket-o-tools on a snap swivel.

For those thinking about these reels I loaded it with 65 lb power pro. These were the STT 40H. I would guess it took about 450 yards to fill it. 50 lb power pro would probably fit 500 yards no problem. I topped it with about 50 feet of 50 lb mono. I plan on using it as a jigging set up and to troll the little lures we pull to tease the little mahi out from under the weeds in the summer.

Thanks Capt. F. and we are glad to hear that the reels arrived in a timely manner and met your expectations. Angler Systems is more then happy to toss in a few freebies from time to time and we hope you’ll give them a try.

BTW, a customer in Jupiter Florida that just ordered the same reel purchased 500 yards of 50lb Power Pro; I’ll pass along your loading information to him.

Happy Holiday,
Jeff

Ken,

This is funny, he just purchased a second STT40H just like you did

He used it yesterday on his kite rod while fishing for Sailfish & love it so much he had to have a second.

Thanks again for your suggestions and I look ahead to talking with you next year.

Jeff
