My Mood:  Rep Power: 5 | Hi David Both are very good reels in their line class.... U are right in getting the 870N in 50lbs should get u ard 400m while Z30 will hold at least 300-400m of 30lb..... But both reels are very simliar in line class and drag class.... The only thing is one is star drag and one is lever drag.,..... Cheers Jason

My Mood:  Rep Power: 6 | HT, if you intend to jig with the reels, DO NOT fill them to the brim. Lets say the Z30 is rated for 300m/PE3 then just fill it with 300m/Ultra Jigman PE2 (still about 30lb test). This way you can just crabk without worrying about the line lay |

My Mood: Rep Power: 5 | Hi HT If U are getting the saltiga series,get the z series cos of the narrow profile. Easier for U jig without having the hassel to lie back the line.... Cheers Jason

Are you referring to the 870N (the narrow version) that can hold 400m of 50lbs? | |

Z30 you can load in PE3 YGK Jigman, and still can jig comfortably.
