Quantum accurist PT500

[grimlin]

Anybody have this reel?This reel is getting great reviews just about everywhere that selling them.I'm considering on buying one soon.Quantum gets a bad name by alot of people for being cheap,but this reel seems anything but cheap and seems to have a great price tag for the reviews it gets.

The only bad thing i've heard about quantum is they tend to be a little heavy in weight.

I think i'm gonna try it..otherwise i can just sell it here or ebay if i don't like it.

It is a good reel. I also have a curado 100. The curado is lighter and alot smoother but i can cast a mile with the quantum.

i also have the Curado 100, its a better reel but your also paying for it. yes the PT500 is around 9oz. about 2oz more then the Curado. 2oz isnt much. its a great reel for the money

I think that this is the best low profile reel that Quantum has. I have put mine through Hell, it has scratches every where and still works great, probably the only Quantum bc that I will not ever sale. In the other hand it has 2 things that makes it not very competitive with today's reels; it is has a larger frame that feels even bigger when is on the reel seat, palming is not one of its best things, the other one is its weight, $ 130.00 is a lot to ask for a 9.1 oz reel. A thing I did is changing the handle to a TD-Z that weight 0.4 oz less and it has 4 ball bearings and better knobs ( I like them better ), makes the retrieve a lot of smoother.

If I'm going to buy a reel today with that budget, I would get a Revo SX for another $ 20.00.

Just my 2 cents.
