DAIWA UVF SALTIGA DURA SENSOR Braid?

Post by Reverendo » Thu Apr 07, 2022 4:48 pm

I came across this line browsing through Ebay looking for deals on Saltiga EX12. Anyone try it? How does it compare to G Soul Upgrade? On a side note, I just spooled some Seaguar PE X8 Lure Edition (14#) and it broke twice while spooling it. Needless to say, I removed it and am looking for an alternative, as I've lost all confidence in it...

I just went down this rabbit hole. Ended up ordering Saltiga 12 for my 5000D Certate LT MQ and Varivas Casting SMP X8 for my Okuma Komodo 471.

Damn, Seaguar isn't doing their reputation any favors with a product like that on the market.

Can't wait to read your assessment of the Saltiga 12. 8-)

Going to try it out on some blacktips down in Florida next month.

Haha, should be a badass battle...Daiwa touts this Saltiga 12 as a excellent performing, super strong and tough braid that casts extremely well.

I'm interested in the lower PE I think there is a 16lb rated line.

I got the 36lb PE 2 stuff. To get the 16lb you need the Morethan 12. I ordered from these guys. https://www.fishernator.com/morethan-12 ... 08-00.html

Took the line to Cabelas to be professionally spooled. They underfilled the reel by 1/3rd. $187 in line down the drain. Ordered a second spool from a different site. Hoping it gets here in time. I leave for the trip in 3 weeks.

The Cabela’s GM is reimbursing me for the cost of the braid from the botched spooling job. Looks like their CS has bounced back from the BassPro Buyout.
