I've found good deals on both but can't seem to decide. Any help?

No comparison, get the MG.  ;D

Never used a quantum reel before, but I picked up an mg a month ago and I love the reel. I am pretty new to bc's so I can't really compare to any others, but I do know that I will fish this reel for a very long time.

An early adopter issue   ;D

The MG is proven

The new Energy looks pretty, but doesn't have a track record yet.

I personally have a history of buying innovative, and unproven products.  That said, I just ordered an MG because I wanted to own a classic  I also have a Tour Edition 1171 awaiting its first use

MG for sure.

Later,

MG for sure.

Later,

X2 No doubt

I recently purchased an MG and all I can say is....WOW  This has to be one of the lightest/smoothest reels I have ever used.  I am predominantly a Daiwa guy, but I too got a deal on a MG I couldnt refuse. I think it will become a "1st string player" this year on the boat.

The TD-X  just may have to play on the 2nd string.... ;D...

Hmmm, Zebco or Shimano...

Well I thought I would ask, tha's a lot of money to make a mistake and asking is free last time I checked  

Oh yeah, that 's a no brainer.

Don 't pay attention to him, he 's full of hate.

Do a side by side comparison pick which one YOU like. Both should be fine.

Quantum Energy, Quantum has really changed and I think they have started making dependable products.

For me, I've been using Quantum baitcasters since '97 and I have only had one issue with any of my Quantums which Reel Mech helped me figure out that I caused the failure due to neglect on my part. I haven't had any issues since. Maybe I've been lucky but they perform well for me.

Dude can i get what ur smoking   ;D shimano mg all the way

Iv fished with a flw pro and he know kvd personally and he burns those quantums up in 6 months just so u all know

Where's a flooger mook when you need when you need a little help preventing a reel debate from getting too heated

He 's posting questions in the Shimano support section.  ;D

I'm betting KVD would burn up any reel in a couple months

I fish Quantum and I've never had a problem. I love em. I know Shimano makes a great reel too. I don't think you can go wrong with whichever one you choose.

I would get the Tour Edition. I prefer the adjustability of the Quantums.
