Saltega is the boss!

Yep, all the reviews I read said the magseal on the saltist is a marketing gimmick and does not actually seal like on the saltega.

They advised to get the BG instead of the saltist, they reckoned with the saltist you are paying for a feature that still requires the same care not to get water in as one without it, so why pay for it when the rest of the reel is the same?

Any gurus on here want to weigh in?

I’ve got two Saltists and while they are good reels I won’t be getting another, you really do need to look after them and the corrosion is second to none.
