Hey guys, I have a few older Quantum Escalade baitcasters that I would really like to overhaul with some new drag discs; problem is, the parts are no longer available for it through Quantum. Ideally I would be replacing a few bearings as well. I've been told a LOT of the non high-end Quantum reels shared a lot/most parts, and simply looked slightly different from the outside. I'm hoping someone has one of the newer versions of these reels and can take measurements of the drag for me and verify and bearings codes that are inside.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I can tune up these reels instead of having to buy new ones..

call smooooth drag im sure they can hook you up. As for the bearings, if you contact quantum they should have the size, then just order new bearings in that size

Smooth Drags will have the bearings and drags. I wonder what you actually need, though. A proper cleaning should bring to better than out of the box.

Ever since I got them, I cleaned and lubed them at least once a season; more often on the ones I used more frequently. I think one of the drags may have been left tight over a winter, or is just plain worn out, it slips when I set the hook fishing a spinnerbait when it's tightened down all the way... I'll look into smooth drags and getting the bearing numbers. Thanks guys
