Ramz Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 I just recently purchased a used Quantum Energy casting reel off eBay. I know many people would not dream of using a used reel but I got it for only $25 and considering how much a new Quantum Energy costs I could not pass it up. Also this is my first casting reel and it feels great. I want to put braid on it and I plan on using 50 # braid but I am not sure what rod to use because of the fear that braid may cut into my guides and cause break offs. I bought a Browning casting rod mainly because of the price (it was cheap) to put the reel on. Was this a bad rod choice? Can anyone give me any suggestions? Quote
trevor Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Most modern guide inserts can handle braid. What model rod is it? Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Modern braids are smoother and more round. Guide ring material is also improved. Go ahead and fish the braid. Quote
