I just wanted to Let you know I put your blue Q16 to the test today--Not only did we smash Halibut and limited out in an hour-- I took the Q16 out the gates 2 miles--Hooked a 12 foot wire leader--12 O/T Octopus to a 4 Pound Salmon Head--120# Power Pro = 1.5 Hr fight--into 10 foot swells and 3 foot chop on a 22 footer. We had to follow it 5 miles out to sea. Coast guard watching to make sure we weren't broke down! Crazy--I got it to the leader and All I saw was a Tail about as wide as my arms will stretch! Don't know what type of shark, but I have caught 20' hammerheads with less struggle. So whatever it was it was damn near the size of my boat and Pissed off! The reel was Awesome!!! AGAIN.

Generally we had been using other reels--Avet, Tiburon and Penn--but we were given the opportunity to try the Qualia reels for the tournament. While we had trouble with wind on tourney day, the pre-fishing was good...and these reels handled the albacore with plenty to spare. The drags are smooth on a troll bite, the reels have plenty of stopping/cranking power to bring in big fish, and overall we were very impressed. If people are looking for tough, great-value offshore reels, these definately need to be high on the list.
