So what Im gathering is the quantum isnt optimal but will work, thanks all for the info!!!

[Trying to get started]

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place new to forums as well as fishing. My dad gave me an old Quantum 1420 mg baitcaster with a 5:1 ratio. Would this be a good starter reel to start throwing swimbaits on. Im trying to find a use for this reel/ and get into swimbaits.  I know virtually every thread I read says Cardiff or Lexa or C3/4 but if anyone could give me any suggestions on how to make this Quantum into a swimbait rig Id love to hear any and all comments. Also accounting into line, rod length and power, and what oz baits and type of baits  it could be good for. Thanks!
