Just got in our first shipment of Daiwa Saltist STT20H and STT30H. The reels look great. We have been waiting a long time for these reels and they are excellent. With the smaller size, combined with braided line, it is possible to fish lighter, stronger tackle. If you were thinking of purchasing an Avet SX, MXJ, or MXL, it might be time to rethink. The new Saltists are priced at $159.99, which is $40 cheaper than the least expensive Avet Reel. They also sport stronger drags, maxing out at 15.4 lbs, while the Avets max out at 9 lbs. The Saltists also have a star drag, which for the novice fisherman is a better choice. I've seen a lot of people break expensive reels because they do not know how to properly operate a lever drag.
The one advantage the Avet has over the new Saltists is the weight. The Saltists weigh approximately 2 oz more than the Avet SX, which still 2 oz. lighter than an MXL.
Overall, I believe the new Daiwa Saltist 20 and 30 will be winners in the long run.
Sincerely,
Josh
