Fin-nor Marquesa: What's Your Opinion?

[fifis101]

Hi everyone,

I'm after anyone who's used the Fin-Nor Marquesa 2 speed reels before and what your opinion may be?

I'm looking at a deal on a MA50 open top.

I plan on using it trolling for southern bluefin tuna. I was thinking of getting a 50W but I already have an 80W and probably don't need another reel that big. Without seeing reels side by side I'm pretty sure the Marquesa MA50 is roughly similar to a shimano 30. I would probably go something along the lines of 500m of 65lb braid and a 100m or so mono topshot.

I did have some concerns with the open top and reel flex when hooked into a harness. Anyone have an opinion on this?

Any info would be much appreciated.
