^^ no doubt lol. You might not be able to handle what you get with a better reel. 

Maybe not,  but I am certainly willing to give it the old college try ~ 

Ok wait - didn't go to college . . . .?

A-Jay

Havent used Quantum in a long time,But really liked there pro and iron series.Wish they still made them.

I was turned off of quantum a while back when I picked up a brand new PT, think it was a smoke or exo, that literally broke in the car when I was still in the parking lot of the BPS that I had just bought it at. 

 

I have since given them a second try, got a super cheap deal on one of their spinning reels that I couldn't pass on. It seems to work well, very smooth. I've heard several times it's really hit or miss with quantum's QC.

Jeez  Dr. Watson, you are tough on equipment! Please do not perform any surgery on me...

OK now , this has to be a good one.  So the reel broke sitting in your car?

Yup, I pulled it out of the box after having just paid for it. Started reeling it, testing the smoothness, really giving it a once over before leaving. After a couple of simulated casts, it started grinding, then I heard a pop and the spool no longer reeled when turning the handle. So I immediately took it back in and traded it out for a Shimano Core, best trade ever, lol.

 

 

Oh yeh, you did good.
