One of the reels i sold for the Had Birchmeyer Memorial Fund was a BLACK Diawa Saltist STT 50 with 4:9;1 gear ratio. Reel when it first came out retailed for 189.99. It was basically a poor mans Saltiga. Lot of good choices out there at a much higher price. I sold at the Flea Market Fundraiser loaded with 65lb braid for $80 bucks. Hookset was not looking to break the bank as he mentioned so that is why i recommended that he look into that reel. And yes they have been discontinued but the are still around in silver as Dave mentioned but they did make it in Black as that is the one he had.

As for what Calstar blank was used to build tile rod. I would not know exactly being it was not my rod. From knowing what blanks Kevin uses it would be my guess that it is the GF 800H. To know exactly it may be a question you ask Kevin Bogan as to what Calstar blank he uses to build 8' Tile rod.
