Ben, just break down and go with the regular Saltiga. I LOVE mine already, and it only has about 7 trips on it.  |

Opportunity is missed by most people because it costs a lot of money and is made in Japan.

Saltiga 4500, 50# Stren Super braid, Lami 1081MH. For the spring, I only fish a 9' rod a lot of the time as anything bigger gets in the way. Like I said before, I have been amazed at the distance I get with this thing. It absolutely LAUNCHES a 2.5 ounce pencil popper! One thing I have noticed is that my left arm gets tired after cranking in a few fish. Not sure if it is the reel or my arms got out of shape over the winter. Never noticed it with the VS.  |

Its gotta be the winter break. When I start the season casting my arm wears out quick, then goes back to normal after a couple of times out.
I'm going to try the new Power Pro 40# test on my 4500. Cant wait!  |
