SmallTownTexasAngler Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I'm looking at the Quantum Team KVD burner baitcast reel. Pricing aside how does the reel perform overall compared to other high ratio reels in the sub $150 range? Quote
kikstand454 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 In before the haters. Ha! I don't own one, but I have used one for about 6hrs before. ..... I like it alot. Smooth. *shrug* as nice as any other reel in the price range. Pretty much any reel in the 100-150 range is going to be just fine in almost any situation. Quote
SmallTownTexasAngler Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks and I don't understand the hate on Quantum. If KVD trusts it why shouldn't we? Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I can't speak for any KVD stuff because I refuse to buy stuff with people's name's on it. The only name I like on the stuff I buy is the company name. That aside, my Quantum is a sweet reel. I wouldn't mind having 1, 2, or 10 more. 1 Quote
coak Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I have a Tour KVD and its smooth. I have no experience with the reel to which you're asking about specifically. However, I will be honest and tell you up front that I own several Quantums, and no dis to the brand at all, but I highly recommend coming into this brand at $150 and up to guard against QC issues. Look around on the interweb, fleabay and some others and you can find good reels. The older Tour Edition goes for $150-160 nib on fleabay, and although it is a heavier reel it is a real workhorse and will do anything you need it to as long as you maintain it. 1 Quote
FSUMF333 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Right now at dicks they have the quantum smoke 100 in the 7 ratio for $149.95 just that one version. The smokes are solid reels and real smooth I love the ones I have and that's a great deal for it usually $200. Quote
Josh Smith Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Bill Dance uses a Quantum Smoke 100. That man could fish with whatever he wanted, sponsored or not. Josh Quote
Cgrinder Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 If you really want a Quantum, Smokes should be available on the bay for around $100. They are fine reels that don't need someone's name to sell them. Actually if you shop around you might be able to find an Exo for under $150. Quote
Djf3864 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I picked the smoke up at Dicks (spinning) and love it. Got for just under $100, retails for $180. Quote
Arv Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 If I were to buy a quantum the smoke would be where my money would go. I've fished with the kvd reels and didn't care for them Quote
