I agree. The 300 is slow for jigging. You have to reel like a mad man at the end of the swing to keep from losing too many jigs. |

Repair update:
I sent the reel out on October 5. they have the reel, but "will not be opneing up the box" until some time next week as it was inventory time last week and the service department was closed. This caused a back up in reel service which will make this about a 3 week turn around... 
At least when I sent my VS's in I could call up and bitch and they would get right on my reel. I tried to explain to the service rep on the phone a few minutes ago of the urgency of getting this reel back and he repeated to me that it would be 2 - 3 weeks. |

Sorry, can't sell you a 300 since I don't have one anymore. I like and use the 250 jigging. It works awesome. Has 50# calcutta on it right now but will be changing it over to 65# whiplash next week  |

whats up TLap,,,I don't know but.. I'ld be PO'd haveing to send in that reel and it hasn't gone through one fall, I know you fish it hard but still. And whats up with the service department being closed? Being that the pricey reel is fairly new to the public, they couldn't keep the so called service "department" open during this time of year?.. at least for the high end reels.

They should really have a counterpart to Shimano's "Platinum Service Plan" for reels like the Saltiga.
Your just asking to piss off customers when you sell something that expensive and then tell them to pound sand for a few weeks when it comes time for repairs.
My only thoughts about having the reel serviced at a local Daiwa dealer would be the parts issue. I'm not sure they'd have any on hand since it's a relatively rare reel. But maybe.

I think you need to go up the food chain. You need to talk to the National Sales Manager, not some peon from the service dept.
Try asking for Terry Pederson.
