bigmountaineer Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I've found good deals on both but can't seem to decide. Any help? Quote
Super User South FLA Posted March 6, 2009 Super User Posted March 6, 2009 No comparison, get the MG. ;D Quote
uicdent11 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Never used a quantum reel before, but I picked up an mg a month ago and I love the reel. I am pretty new to bc's so I can't really compare to any others, but I do know that I will fish this reel for a very long time. Quote
LAO162 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 An early adopter issue ;D The MG is proven The new Energy looks pretty, but doesn't have a track record yet. I personally have a history of buying innovative, and unproven products. That said, I just ordered an MG because I wanted to own a classic I also have a Tour Edition 1171 awaiting its first use Quote
Mr.Twister Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I recently purchased an MG and all I can say is....WOW This has to be one of the lightest/smoothest reels I have ever used. I am predominantly a Daiwa guy, but I too got a deal on a MG I couldnt refuse. I think it will become a "1st string player" this year on the boat. The TD-X just may have to play on the 2nd string.... ;D... Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 6, 2009 Super User Posted March 6, 2009 Hmmm, Zebco or Shimano... Quote
bigmountaineer Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 Hmmm, Zebco or Shimano... Well I thought I would ask, tha's a lot of money to make a mistake and asking is free last time I checked Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 6, 2009 Super User Posted March 6, 2009 Oh yeah, that 's a no brainer. Quote
SWMIBASSER Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Oh yeah, that 's a no brainer. Agreed. Quantum Tour PT ;D Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 6, 2009 Super User Posted March 6, 2009 ^^^Haters^^^ Don 't pay attention to him, he 's full of hate. Quote
skno Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Do a side by side comparison pick which one YOU like. Both should be fine. Quote
dmac14 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Quantum Energy, Quantum has really changed and I think they have started making dependable products. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 6, 2009 Super User Posted March 6, 2009 Quantum Energy, Quantum has really changed and I think they have started making dependable products. What makes you think they have changed? :-? Quote
basser89 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Quantum Energy, Quantum has really changed and I think they have started making dependable products. What makes you think they have changed? :-? For me, I've been using Quantum baitcasters since '97 and I have only had one issue with any of my Quantums which Reel Mech helped me figure out that I caused the failure due to neglect on my part. I haven't had any issues since. Maybe I've been lucky but they perform well for me. Quote
shimanogloomis man Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Oh yeah, that 's a no brainer. Agreed. Quantum Tour PT ;D Dude can i get what ur smoking ;D shimano mg all the way Iv fished with a flw pro and he know kvd personally and he burns those quantums up in 6 months just so u all know Quote
LAO162 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Where's a flooger mook when you need when you need a little help preventing a reel debate from getting too heated Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 7, 2009 Super User Posted March 7, 2009 Where's a flooger mook when you need when you need a little help preventing a reel debate from getting too heated He 's posting questions in the Shimano support section. ;D Quote
Copen1822 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Iv fished with a flw pro and he know kvd personally and he burns those quantums up in 6 months just so u all know I'm betting KVD would burn up any reel in a couple months I fish Quantum and I've never had a problem. I love em. I know Shimano makes a great reel too. I don't think you can go wrong with whichever one you choose. Quote
hawgchaser Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I would get the Tour Edition. I prefer the adjustability of the Quantums. Quote
