If you have the money, Shimano Stella & Daiwa Dogfight are top of the line, VS 275 a little less $$ but high quality too ((I don't own any).

Shimano Saragossa 18000 - $299 (own one and have taken tuna)

Shimano Spheros 18000 - $179 (own one and have taken tuna)

Fin Nor 7500 - $159 (own one and have taken tuna)

The 7500 is 6-7 oz lighter than the 8500 which makes a big difference and has plenty of line capacity.

None of these reels have failed me but then again the tuna I'm catching are in the 45" - 62" range, nothing larger yet.
