Daiwa Saltist MQ Spinning Reel

So I bought 1 of each.. still waiting on a 4000 but have acquired all the rest. I was using a Ballistic Spinning reel before these reels, I loved my Ballistic 6000 but these things are just SO SO much nicer.. the handles are way too comfortable, every size has a nice aluminum **** handle, from the 2500 to the 20000. The MQ design has no switch for reverse/forward on the reel (which was useless anyways), the one thing that this reel lacks is a place to catch the line when you have it spooled. The drag on these reels is incredible for their sizes, few models to compare these too (Shimano Saragosa or Penn Slammer IV maybe). I have watched someone use one of these completely submerged for hundreds of hours and the reel works just like new, not splashed, completely submerged.. If you have issues with these you have to have them repaired by Daiwa, they require special tools that aren't commonly available, but are so durable i doubt they will ever even need repaired in what's left of life for me (maybe 20 years?), so it will be someone else's problem by the time that it is the case in point. I don't think a better spinning reel is being made IMO.
