I agree. I have a Saltiga and the Hybrid. The Hybrid is okay, but wish I would have bought a second Saltiga instead.

One thing I don't like about the Hybrid is if you accidentally engage the drag while line is going out, the gears make a very loud grinding noise until they engage. It is fairly easy to do since it only takes 1/8 of a turn on the handle. I hope there is no damage being done. It scares the crap out of me every time it happens.
