The POS Quantum I had was a Blue Runner, the largest size one. On my third trip out, it seized up and I had to hand line the fish in. This was after the warranty period was up, and I couldn't return it. So I just tossed it into a box and left it there for a couple of years. When I moved, I found it again and started to go over it to see if I could fix it, and the line holder clip on the side of the spool just broke and popped off. That pretty much did it, and I threw it in the garbage. No more Quantums for me.

As for the Okumas, I have a smaller Okuma spinning reel for my trout setup, and a Okuma salmon rod. For the price, they are quite good. I was really impressed with both of them. I don't think the Metaloid ones come large enough, though. The Okuma models I was considering were the Azul and Coranado.
