Over 43 years ago, Qualia started building reels and rods for most of the major fishing companies. At first they supplied parts, and as the business grew, they began to develop and patent their own reel and rod designs and creating reels for some of the biggest names in fishing. Finally, in a flash of inspired insanity during 2005, the Qualia team decided to put all of that experience to work and start another company to sell our their brand of reels.
Qualia realized that there was a gap in the market between lower-quality, mass-market reels and rods sold in big-box stores, and high-quality, expensive equipment sold in specialty shops. There was little attention given to well-made reels with a price that was between those two extremes, especially in the saltwater market .
We wanted to offer high-quality products that were dependable and built to last, but were kind on the wallet. So we decided to design and build reels and rods that filled that need.
Every year, Qualia speaks to customers to learn about their needs. All the information goes straight back into improvements for Qualia reels and rods.
Just as it should be.
