Talked to the guys at squidco today and they recommended the seagate. Gonna check into that a bit more and probably go with that I have casted it before and like it.

What were the reasons for them recommending a seagate over a saltist?

Maybe they are trying to unload their old inventory.

Most of the searches I have found is that the saltist BG is more desired than the seagate.

Saltist is definitely not in the same class as seagate. And you probably want the narrow spool 35h for a jig stick.

Are you saying that the seagate is a higher class of reel than the saltist BG?

Owned plenty of both, would never buy a seagate over saltist again. I would just wait til I saved another 50 bucks for the well worth upgrade.

I own several daiwa saltist BG reels. I like em a lot. They are definitely better than the seagates in many ways. There is one area the Seagate beats the saltist though and that is in weight. This difference can be big if you are making a lot casts from a kayak.

Check both out and see which one feels best in your hand.
