Love my Saltist 30,,it's the grey color era,,one recurring flaw in it is the clutch spring that connects to manual casting lever have a tendency to bind or jam had it replaced twice.
I've been told you don't need the spring it will work just fine without it,,wondering if anybody has tried this???

it's true, you can use the saltiest without the spring. only thing you risk is bumping the lever on your cast and re-engaging the spool early but that hasn't happened to me yet.
