LiteLiner ......

I have a Quantum Cabo 80 and found it on the i-net for $197...

I filled it with just under 300 yards of 65# spectra and then topped it off with about 80 yards of 50# mono. I put it on a Daiwa Saltiga 30-50# rod. The reason for that is I do more AJ fishing in 200' - 300' of water than I do YFT fishing and I felt the 50# mono would get it done without having to get to the braid.

I haven't used it yet but in toying with it outside I have put some serious pressure on it checking my knots, etc., and it really seems sturdy.

My Quantum Cabo 60 has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years and when a poster that went on TBB 06 said he caught several 70# class YFT on a Cabo 80 on that trip I was sold.

I called Quantum and they told me they don't test the big spinners for maximum drag. They were quite helpful to me on several issues.

I also have a Spheros 14000 with the same line setup that I've never had a chance to use but I think it's everything Ronnie says it is.

Hope this helps.
