THIS REEL, made me a Daiwa Fan!
May 31, 2014
Wanted a "step-up" from the super durable Shimano TR-100G, that I use for all my charter reels. I wanted a power handle, a star drag with a clicking adjustment, a super tough levelwind, all aluminum. That I can cast jigs with, rip a giant top water plug with, and be a "personal reel".
Pros
- The bench mark for me as I said above was the Shimano TR-100G work horse conventional level-wind, star drag reel in which I have 16 of, and use daily for charter fishing with customers. But wondered if there was a step up out there in reel land, that wasn't terribly expensive, and would suit my days of personal fishing.
- YES THERE IS! And the saltist H-C is durable as any with so many features that I was in the need for.
- And now, I'm a DAIWA guy! These HC reels have made a Fan outa me!
- Clicking adjustment star drag
- AUTO-ENGAGING.....with a 1/2 turn of the massive reel handle!!!!!!!!
- Bullet-proof, almost over sized level wind mechanism
- Loads of bearings for super smooth operation
- AND...........6.1-1 GEAR RATIO!
- Yes a heavy duty saltwater contender, that feels like a MANS reel in your hands.

Cons
- NOT A ONE I CAN FIND, SO FAR. After months of heavy saltwater fishing.

saltist h-c levelwind casting reel
December 6, 2012
I own the salltist BG and it is the one best reel out there for casting and surf fishing. Since then i decided to go with the neww saltist levelwind as an inshore reel. I was very impressed once I recieved it. Very solid reel,able to palm ,and cast effortlessly. I paired it with the Daiwa inshore saltiga striper rod. very pleased.......
Pros
- very solid; nice power handle

Yes Steve. This would be a good reel for the application you described. If you want to get some better distance, look at a reel without level wind. It may be harder to control the line on the cast, but will give you better distance due to less friction.
