Looking for some advice.

I'm looking at getting a Saltist 40 high-speed to use mostly as a yo-yo reel. I plan to fish 50# line and back with 65# spectra.

I have a topless YTS that has been my yo-yo reel, I'm looking for the higher speed. (I also want a new reel)

Is the Saltist 40 a good choice? Is there enough capacity to fill with 50# mono and 65# spectra? I hear there is no problem cranking a fish in with the higher gear ratio, is this true?

So if anyone has any experience with the high speed saltist, your input is appreciated.

I've read some reviews and it sounds like a killer reel. I'm just curious if it would make a good 50# yo-yo reel.

Thanks!
