brgbassmaster Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 my wife bought me a quantum accurist pt 6.2:1. i love this reel its so smooth. looks nice to. Quote
bassdocktor Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 The people that have that one seem to love it and I love my Quantums. Plus.......it even has some red in it for Valentines Day. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 9, 2008 Super User Posted February 9, 2008 You will love that reel, I own one of the Accurist Pt's as well as the Accurist CX, I was really down on Quantum for along time, but these reels have restored my faith in them. I really love the externaly adjustable ACS. The only negative to them, and it's really not a big deal, is the weight. I think they come in at 9.5 ounces, were my Revo's are 8.5, and my Curado 101D at 7.5. It's still not the hevist reel I own, the Citicas and Abu C3's are a tad more at 9.9. Quote
Popeye Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I haven't figured out what my wife is going to buy me this year:o) I bought her a new florescent light fixture for the kitchen. Well, THAT'S what she wanted but not all I'll end up getting her. I think I NEED some of those Huddleston 6" swimbaits:o) Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Congratulations. Good Valentine's day gift. I have several quantums - spinning and casting - and really like them a lot. Quote
TournyFish001 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I have the KVD model from pass pro- great reel, the one you have has more features being a PT. you will like it Quote
Tpayneful Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Did I miss Valentine's Day? Is it the 14th already? Guys get gifts? What planet are you on? ;D Quote
Super User Micro Posted February 11, 2008 Super User Posted February 11, 2008 After 17 years of marriage, my wife and me just "agree" not get each other anything for Valentines. But I usuallly score a gift card to BPS and she gets some stuff from Bath and Body Works. By the way, I like shopping there (B&BW). Last time I was there there was some young cute girl with a wooden massager who "demonstrated" the newest eucaliptice massage lotion on the back of my neck. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 11, 2008 Super User Posted February 11, 2008 I wish my wife would be that kind. I can't imagine her buying me fishing equipment for Valentines Day. I will probably end up with some chocolate that she will end up eating. ;D All joking a side, I really don't want anything for Valentines Day. I would rather get my wife something nice with what she would spend on me. Quote
LAO162 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 FishTank, I know where you're coming from. I just spent the savings that WERE going towards my new worm/jig combo. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 11, 2008 Super User Posted February 11, 2008 I was thinking about buying my wife a G.Loomis GLX BCR854 matched up with a Shimano Core, just in case she decides to go fishing...for the first time. : 8-) Quote
Popeye Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 RW: that's a CLEVER IDEA! Since my wife hates fishing, think I'd better stop at the exchange on the way home tomorrow and buy her some fishing stuff for Valentine's Day:o) Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 11, 2008 Super User Posted February 11, 2008 I was thinking about buying my wife a G.Loomis GLX BCR854 matched up with a Shimano Core, just in case she decides to go fishing...for the first time. : 8-) Yep, you never know when the little lady might show a sudden interest in fishing. You certainly wouldn't want her to get discouraged by having to use poor quality gear. However, you may want to consider that her divorce lawyer may end up fishing with it. Ronnie Quote

Hmmmm....... I think I've tried this before and then I suddenly relized how comfortable my leather sofa was. ;D Quote
scbassin Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 R/W I like your thought process. I have 2 Shimano Metanium Mg-7's on the way & should arrive on the 14th. That solves that problem, matching reels. Ooops she will need a rod too, since she does not fish she don't have one. Thanks for the tip I'll be sure to show her your post & tell her it was your idea. ;D Quote
brgbassmaster Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 luckily my wife loves bass fishing as much as i do. she said she thinks about it all the time. so i get fishing stuff all the time that she gets to use. she buys it for me then she uses it. how crazy is that. but i love it.
