I had (key word) an Ahab 16 a few years back. Liked the way it was built and its smoothness but had the same complaint about its weight. My biggest complaint was when it took on sand and water. The thing grinded and locked up on occasion. The bearings corroded quite easily too. Quality reel but not the best reel for surf and sand. Better suited for boat fishing or where it won't get wet IMHO.. Not too braid friendly also.
