You know that's pretty damned tempting, Twitch.

Pretty sad to lose one of the most reliable salmon trolling reels to ever grace my vessel. Why couldn't it have been one of those POS Tekotas or one of the newer ABU's that hardly last a season without serious maintenance issues. Even my Calcutta TE 700 is giving me drag fits now, and it's only 5 years old!

I swear all the newer high dollar reels don't hold a candle to the stuff made over 40 years ago! Horribly disappointed with every recent reel purchase I have made within the past 5 years.

I hope that Saltist LD proves to be the exception.
