i just got a new 5'6" Quantum IM6 rod with a Quantum Ignition 10 reel, its just to hold off until my birthday. Is the Quantum a good rod? So far i've noticed it has great action.

I got the same combo. Rod has decent action, but I had problems with the reel (anti-reverse pin kept popping out). Had to send the reel back for replacement. I did catch some nice largemouth bass, perch, crappie, and sunnies with the set-up. Good luck with Yours
