Scales Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Anyone tried it? I like quantum and I really like how light this reel is but can it hold up to chunking big baits? 2-10oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facepunch Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I've never seen a quantum that could hold up to throwing small baits lol. You would be much better off with a lexa, or even one of the lower end Calcutta B models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonmitch Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I've never used one but it came up a few weeks back viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11929&hilit=Quantum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scales Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 But see I have an original tour edition pt. The blue one. It is solid as a freaking rock since the day I got it. I do think the lower end reels suck but the higher end ones are built well. And I can get one for about half retail right now so its about the same price as a lexa. Its lighter and holds more line.

brooks19604 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I asked this awhile back and heard not one good thing about it. all negative feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scales Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Ok changing direction. Just talked to lews, apparently they are coming out with a bb2 made for big baits. Same as the bb1 with a bigger spool and I assume beefed up components. Coming out in a month or so. Guess im gunna hold off for that to come out.

Facepunch Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Why so dead set against a proven reel like the Lexa, curado, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scales Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Just want to try something new. I love my lews too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.Colby Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I have a EXO and really like it. I mainly use it as my frog reel but I have also tied on a leader and thrown baits 2-4oz without an issue. I usually only use daiwa and shimano but came across a great deal I couldn't turn down and it has worked out great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
