This has been discussed at length here on this forum recently. If you care to do a search you'll find lots of feedback.

Like Gman I had the Quantum Cabo 60 PTS first and was impressed with it enough to feel if they came out with anything larger that it would be suitable for tossing topwaters for YFT. So I bought a Quantum Cabo 80 PTS as soon as they came out. To date the biggest fish landed on it was a 105# YFT aboard the Pelican last November. I did not catch the fish but I handed it off to another fisherman who expressed surprise at how well the reel performed and then inquired what kind of reel it was. I had it mounted on a Quantum 500G jigging rod and filled with 65# braid with a topshot of 50# mono.

It's no Stella but still a very good reel for around $200.
