I use the Quantum Cabo 60s and the Okuma salinas 45 &55 on my inshore/nearshore charter boat with good results

I would also suggest looking at the Okuma Salina..... it has the same DFD (dual force drag) system as the VS but a lot less $$$, and is designed for Saltwater use. I own a 30 and a 50, and have been very pleased with them. The drag system is tremendous, even on the little Sa30, which I have started using spooled with 20 lb PowerPro to catch our 40+ inch redfish under bridges....no problem. Even the Sa30 is rated to produce 45 pounds of drag, the Sa50 is rated for 70 lbs......plenty of stopping power.

Fishing with a smaller, lighter weight reel is definitely more comfortable after a long day of fishing.

i like using 4000 size reels the larger spool reduces wind knots on braided lines, they cast farther than smaller sizes spools and there drags are smoother and drag washers are larger and stonger than smaller reels and if u hook into a mogan size fish you have the line capacity helps in a yak
