We have been selling them at campbells for about two years now and have heard nothing but great feedback from our customers. We sell them as an alternative to the big two (Saltist and Saragosa) and haven't had a single one come back for repair let alone a service :/ (from memory, I could be wrong) Well made reels with a decent line capacity and reasonable drag for a reel of that price. The new Salinas are about to come out, it might be worth the wait? 

Thanks leemo some-one mentioned to me last night that they have bearing problems so wanted to find out about this before stumping up my hard earned.

I had 2, Befor one took a trip out to sea with rod as well

 Yep, mine has been punished but still goes like new. Would buy another if I needed to

cheers

U know much about the Salina 15 kg oh rod? Bought one dirt cheap on net as a spare (give to a mate to use type of stick) Cheers

 What it's like cos I've been/still overseas for the past 8 months

Just purcahsed a Okuma Sallina 16000 high speed. Still waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully it goes ok. If not it goes for a swim

 Have some of the original large okumas and have the 16000 baitrunner which is no longer made (more the pity as I would buy another tomorrow)   Only and I mean only problem I have ever has was with a handle and Okuma replaced it with two yes TWO new ones no questions asked

great smooth drag, I use mine for everything from Makkies to dhuies on bottom bouncing rigs with the best effort being an 18.9 dhuie which was hooked at the same time I was fighting another and was "silent fished" from the rod holder drag working as smooth as silk until I landed the 11kg job

If anyone has the largest in a baitrunner config they want to sell just send me a pm
