Rep Power: 5 | Re: Dogfight and 6000 GT...... Yo Physlo ........ the DF & the 6000GT has the same gear ratio -- 6.2:1. The DF takes in more line per crank by virtue of its larger spool and I think because of the larger spool, it weighs slightly more than the GT. Yo Jason ...... imho, other than that technical difference, I think the rest is merely cosmetic. Go ask the boys at AO. I am pretty sure they must have cracked open a few for servicing by now. If there are indeed differences other than colour, they would know. |

Rep Power: 4 | Re: Dogfight and 6000 GT...... KK , I heard DogFight has the CCRBs in them while 6000Gt hasn't , other than that DogFight is 6000GT with optional grip , bigger 6500 spool n painted black , sound like a song by The Rolling Stones ! Jon . |

My Mood:  Rep Power: 0  | Re: Dogfight and 6000 GT...... Yo Jason! The holes on the leg of é DF are plugged whereas those on é other Saltigas are 'bore-through'. Hopefully, this is é improvement after feedback from several cases of several 'bai-kah' Saltigas with legs broken during hard fights. Another amazing improvement is that é DF could actually increase in retrieve speed & line cap as it's left in é sun.... how?? So darn black! aborb more heat in é sun of course whole reel expand lah! hahahaha! |

My Mood:  Rep Power: 7 | Re: Dogfight and 6000 GT...... hmmm... bore through and plugged sounds pretty much the same to me actually. Only diff is the "plugged" version has something shoved into the "bore-through" hole. Actually reel foot breakages, to my best knowledge, only happens occasionally to the smaller 4000/4500 reels. Our local guys have fished the larger GT versions pretty extensively and non have given way. The Japanese have used the DF to land big Bluefin tuna so I don't think those holes, regardless whether its a through hole or a plugged up one, is going to make much difference. |
