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

My first bass reel was a Quantum DynaMag. Man I loved that reel. Can't remember the specific model, but it was like this one.

Quantum 1310MG, got two of them that I bought in the early 90's. Still work great, never replaced any parts only an occasional cleaning. These and Garcia 4600c are the best and most durable reels I've owned. Oh, and the Garcia 5500C3's are great reels too. Each serve a purpose.

I prolly just suck at casting but man I bought 3 Exo's used from a few different folks and I've never backlashed so many dang times in my life with em. Unless I tighten everything up where the longest cast I can make is like 10 yards that's the only way I don't backlash every 15-20 casts... Again I prolly just suck. But I do like the feel (lightweight) of the reels... Anybody wanna trade????

I'm probably going to catch a lot of flak and criticism and start a war of words but I'm going to try and help you with your backlash problem. You can backlash any reel, I don't care how much you pay for it. The reels like the old Garcia reels are the easiest because they don't have the adjustable centrifugal brake which is adjusted by turning the knob that is on the opposite side of the crank. Here's what I do, with the lure I'm going to use, say a 1/2 oz. spinnerbait, I raise the rod tip to the 11 o'clock position, press and release the bar and let the lure fall. Adjust the tension behind the crank handle until the lure slowly falls. Next step is to cast the lure with the centrifugal brake set on 5. Under normal wind conditions 5 is plenty. Now the only way the reel will backlash is if the lure hits the water, tree, boat dock, etc. and your thumb is not on the spool. It's eye to thumb coordination and with a little practice you'll be able to lightly thumb the spool right as the lure hits the water. Now if you're casting into the wind that takes a little more practice. What I do is cast side arm and keep the lure lower to the water and out of the wind. Everything takes practice whether it's hitting a golf ball, shooting marbles or two stepping.
Get ready now because I just stirred the wasp nest and the bees are starting to buzz. More and better advice than mine is on the way. You can be a better caster and angler with a little practice. Hope I didn't ruin your day.
