You want an albie reel? Shelf that Quantum and get yourself a Shimano Stradic 5000. It's my workhorse, man. I've caught fish big and small with it, including tarpon to 80 pounds. Smooth, compact, reliable. Holds nearly 300 yards of 20-pound braid. Also, take the time to hose your gear off, not with a blasting force, but a gentle spray. Keep moving parts oiled or greased and you'll have them for years.
