Qualia now has 2 of their newly designed spinning reels available. The new N30 which is the replacement for the NLF 30, and the new N50 which is the replacement for the NLF 50 reel.
Both replacements are much lighter, stronger, faster, and are more comfortable to fish for a long time.
The new n30 weighs only 9.5 ounces, while the new N50 weighs only 13.1 ounces. The N30 has a gear ratio of 6.0:1, and the new N50 has a gear ratio of 5.74:1. Both reels bring in 50+ inches of line per revolution of the handle.
Both reels now have a bearing in the spool so the main shaft is supported in a bearing from top to bottom. The reels have 6 SS bearings and a SS one way bearing. The reels are balanced, and sealed, with a 6 element drag section featuring Teflon, carbon fiber, and metal.

Qualia has been making the present line of NLF spinning reels for over 10 years. They have been working on updating the spinning reels with units that are lighter, stronger, faster, smaller, and tougher. The first new models the N30 will replace the NLF 30. It weighs only 9.5 ounces, has a 6:1 gear ratio for very fast retrieves, much higher drag rating, and a larger spool. The unit is made for salt water, with all stainless steel hardware, bearings, and anodized aircraft aluminum.
The new N50 will replace the NLF 50, and also is smaller, lighter with a very fast 5.74:1 gear ratio, and weighs only 13 ounces, with a drag rating of up to 16 pounds.
Both of these spinning reels are available now from our website and there are live videos for them on the website as well.

Several weeks ago I shipped the first Qualia reels to Ana Banana Fishing Charters on Marathon Key, and they went fishing, and have gone every day since with our Q12-2 fishing reels. These are the smallest big time reels we make with all the features the big reels have. Stainless steel hardened gears, stainless steel bearings, stainless steel hardware, shafts, machined rod holder for the reel at a very competitive price. Try one and see.

Qualia designed a reel for west coast Halibut and California bluefin tuna called our Q30-1. It is a very heavy duty single speed reel that can bring in fish to 100 pounds day after day. The reel has #404 stainless steel gears that are heat treated, hardened, and chemically treated for electrolysis, stainless steel bearings, shafts and all of the hardware.

The spool and side plates are forged aluminum and CNC machined., and then anodized for complete protection. The drag system is carbon fiber and is a dry system.

The reel is rated at 35 nominal pounds of drag, and holds 720 yards of 39 lb mono, but most people spool it with 800 yards of 80 lb braid and then a top shot of 50 yards of 60 lb mono.

This reel is prized for its "built like a tank" and no field problems.
If you want a reel for the big fish and use it every day, this is the reel for you. We have very in depth stock of this item as we have moved the California warehouse here now.

Please compare our reels to our competitors, and you will see we have the quality, and performance beyond your expectations at a price for regular people. These are the reels the professionals buy to use day after day.

On Saturday November 27th from 9 AM to 3 PM, Qualia fishing reels will have a senior member of the reel company at Bay to Bay Ace Hardware to answer any questions about the reels, service of the reels and future products. Qualia is fortunate to maintain a large warehouse in California as well as two different sites in the St Petersburg area so we have inventory of 99% of our products here in the US. Our reels are all covered by our one year warranty and we have service facilities here, with parts.
I would enjoy meeting all of you at Bay to Bay Ace Hardware on Saturday.

Qualia developed their own spinning reel family to eliminate the practice of fighting the reel when fighting the fish. They call the process No Load, by incorporating a rigid support of the main shaft in the reel. They powder coated the aluminum body, rotor and side plates, then they made a drag assembly of 7 sections including metal, carbon fiber and Teflon, and used 7 stainless steel ball bearings in the reel. The handle can be used on either side of the reel for right or left handed people. The spool is forged aluminum with a special lip to allow for using braid with no damage.

Our NLF 50 is the mid range reel that is small enough for the pan fish sizes and big and brawny enough to handle the larger snapper, trout or whatever you run into. The gear ratio is 4.9:1, and the reel holds 240 yards of 14 lb mono or 300 yards of 30 lb braid. Try one and see how good a reasonably priced reel is.

The Q80-2 is the largest reel made by Qualia, and is used for catching everything from Humbolt Squid, to amberjack, to swordfish. One of our avid Qualia users had me load 2 new Q80-2 reels with 500 yards of 150 lb braid and then a top shot of 100 yards of 200 lb mono to go fishing at the oil rigs for really big fish at the bottom of the offshore rigs. He set this up for his 9 year old son and here he is reeling in a 70+ lb amberjack.
Our Q80-2 has 404 stainless steel gears that are heat treated hardened, and chemically treated for galvanic corrosion. The reel has all stainless steel gears, shafts, all of the hardware and all of the mounting equipment. The reel is shift on the fly with our patented free spool.
