Went to cabelas and picked up a quantum energy pt so I could have a quantum to try out. The reel looks super good and feels great. I use Abu garcia and Lews but wanted to try a quantum. What do yall think of this reel? What's yalls opinions on quantum?

You WANT my opinion of them?
The handle on a Quantum PT fits a Lews....that is what I use my Quantum for now-a-days. Parts

If it's good enough for Z-Train & Hack well....... it's got to be good.

Let us know how you like it. I've got an old one with iridescent pink/blue metallic side plates that is the worst (most untunable) reel I ever owned. I've tried it on many different setups and different line/lure weights and different spool fulness and just can't get it to work for me.

Bought one, tried to out. Ended up giving it away and all but a couple of my reels are Lews BB1 Pros. That about sums up my experience with them.

I suggest you stick with Abu Garcia or Lews. They are much better quality than Quantum. I've had several in the past and they just did not hold up well, and one of them was an Energy PT.

I wish I could of got another revo but I didn't have enough money. the quantum was on sale for 89.95 so it was in my price range. il continue to buy abu and lews after this reel.

They suck so bad that KVD has been using them for decades. The rest of the Quantum Pros, like Jordan Lee who just won the classic, are no slackers either. I use Gen II Smokes and love them. Gave my Gen I Smokes to my son and he loves them as well.

I used to have quite a few Quantums. I only have Smokes now, I have two of them and they are pretty good best I can tell. One thing about quantum, they have a good website you can get pretty much any part you want or they used to.
Thanks, Billy

Got the Quantum Tour KVD regularly $229 for $89 at Cabelas. Probably was worth $89, but wouldn't put it in the $200 reel class. It's fine, you will like yours, I like Shimano better.

I have Exo's and they are very nice but not in production anymore. They have performed great. I don't like them better than my Diawa's though, but now we are talking personal preference and the opinions will be many.

I have 2 Quantum 1310 reels that I've had since the early 90's and still work great. I can cast a fluke into the wind with them without an over run and they're just as smooth as the day I bought them. Don't know if they still make that model but these are good reels.

I have had several with no issues over the years. If I have a "which reel" question, I would post it in the reel cleaning area. Those guys that tear them down get to see which ones have plastic vs metal parts and see lots of issues. They probably can give you a good assessment.
