I know this is totally irrelavent to this post but someone mentioned the almost forgotten Quantum 1310. Dollar for dollar, some of the best reels ever.

I kinda like the color the more I look at it, reminds me of campfire coals. Will hold off on an opinion good or bad until those that are using them report back after a year or more. I've learned that its hard to judge any reel by just cranking on the reel handle and making a few casts. If it doesn't feel like new after a year or two without replacing stuff, I'm out because there are older reels that will do that and for the cost of upgraded bearings can cast with the best of them.

The good ole' days.....anybody else remember when Quantum had the series of reels? I believe they were called crankin' reel, pitchin' reel, and rippin' reel. I had 'em all and thought I was a stud...

For the same reason people PAY for tournament jerseys, PAY to wrap there boats with some companys ad and plaster stickers all over there pickups and boats They have drank the koolaid of the corporate marketing machine that bass fishing has became Appearance is everything, there more worried about what the next guy in line for the boat ramp thinks about there Rig than enjoying a day on the water or catching fish Casting distance isn't a metric you care about....but you buy them for appearance? Say what? Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot. It's a dang fishing reel, not an art object! ...are you hoping your fishing trip date will be impressed? I'm not saying I agree with getting a reel for appearance, but... Why do folks get these high dollar bass boats and deck them out/make them look sharp..? It's just a damn boat, not an art object. Maybe some folks just like things that look good! It's their money, if they want to spend it on nice stuff for their hobby, than they shall do that Wow, a reasonable response. Not a what tha f- - - response. I merely expressed my thoughts and opinions on reels didn't mean to offend anyone. Guess flippin out comes natural to him.

I'm one of those that aesthetics does matter. I was married to an ugly woman. Sucked the life right out of me. I'm married to a hot one now, who can cook, takes care of me like I'm Tony Nelson, is a great mother to our kids, but, guess what, I still look at her everyday. She's good looking! If she was ugly, being a good cook would matter a whole lot less. I may buy one of those red suckers,they're kinda pretty.

Ill choose a sanded, non painted blank and cork handles. An ECS seat. Torzite guides.....and match it to a Steez. All about the performance here.
