Quantum Boca Pt reel info

Just got an incredible deal on a 10ft 2pc Quarrow surf rod rated 15-30lb line and 4-8oz lure though when you handle it those numbers seem inflated.It cast a 2oz Salty Seagar popper with my Spheros 8000(20lb) no problem.

My Spheros 8000 was just a tad bit small and doesn't quite have the line capacity(160/20lb) I'm looking for.

I really like the price of the Boca 60 as compared to the Cabo and the 210/20 line capacity.The Tackletour.com review was stellar.I did a search here and couldn't come up with much other than one not to useful thread.Does anybody here have any real practical experience with one?My biggest question is how much does one of these weigh?The Quarrow rod is light for its size.

22.3oz.

The reviewer at TackleTour gave me the answer.

I do believe I'll be purchasing this reel.

It doesn't say what metal the innards are made of. Never hooked anything big enough to strip my reel, but I've read enough posts that I now try to refrain from buying reels with brass internal parts.

Lookin for my big'un!
