^^ no doubt lol. You might not be able to handle what you get with a better reel. 

Maybe not,  but I am certainly willing to give it the old college try ~ 

Ok wait - didn't go to college . . . .?

I was turned off of quantum a while back when I picked up a brand new PT, think it was a smoke or exo, that literally broke in the car when I was still in the parking lot of the BPS that I had just bought it at. 

 

I have since given them a second try, got a super cheap deal on one of their spinning reels that I couldn't pass on. It seems to work well, very smooth. I've heard several times it's really hit or miss with quantum's QC.

Yup, I pulled it out of the box after having just paid for it. Started reeling it, testing the smoothness, really giving it a once over before leaving. After a couple of simulated casts, it started grinding, then I heard a pop and the spool no longer reeled when turning the handle. So I immediately took it back in and traded it out for a Shimano Core, best trade ever, lol.
