My wife got me a Quantum PT Touring for Christmas, and finally got to use it yesterday. I was a little apprehensive, as I had a couple of guys tell me that it was complete crap. My friends, being the great guys that they are, offered to save me the headaches and take it off of my hands before I went out and suffered disappointment and frustration.
I have one word for this reel: Awesome!
Looks fantastic, fits very well in your hand, and casts like a dream. I looked at them in the stores, and they feel smooth, but to use it is to love it. It has the external casting control, and I had it dialed in within a couple of minutes. I used a baitcaster for the first time this year, and it is an Abu Garcia Record, another great reel. It's awesome to fight fish with, but it's a little big and bulky, and doesn't cast nearly as well.
The bad news is that we went to the Nasty, and it was pretty dead. Caught one ugly old dog, and didn't really get to feel the drag, but from everything else about the reel I'm betting that it's a winner also.
If anybody is in the market for a reel, give this one a serious look. This is a definite winner. Tup:
