| I have used and still use a Saltist 20 for ripping rubber. Although it works well, I have gone through two reels as it just doesn't hold up to the abuse. My advice would be to get either a Calcutta 700 or a Tranx HS. Yes, it is more money but if you rip rubber why not pay a bit extra for a reel that is more solid in the long run. |

| OR put your finger on the spool as you rip and don't let the reel do all the work. I pull all day with a luna and have no problems on pounders or 13's. |
