We are considering Titanium for both the strength to weight ration as well as the corrosion resistance. With forged aluminum reels you are depending on the anodize for protection. Any threaded feature is subject to serious problems. As for the size, I too have been looking for something that is not available. The Calcuta 250 has a nice frame size but not quite enough line capacity. Another goal is to improve the seals protecting the gearing. As for the gear ratio, we would like to offer a reel with user changable gear sets to change as required. Not sure if this is possible yet, but its on the list.

thanks much,
