2009 Quantum Tour Edition PT Baitcast Reels

We had a look at the new Quantum Tour Edition reel a while back and we weren’t too impressed with the choice of colour. Well the reel has been released (with a $279 USD price tag), and they’ve prettied it up and chromed it out! It looks sharp if you ask me, but I still love the old blue one (which Jon and I both own), and from the reviews I’ve read, the new one doesn’t match the old ones quality either!

    they are pretty nice. but the back lash gets me too often (my own fault), so i stick to my open face reels.

    Nice, I LOVE the Antares. Its gotta be one of the best looking reels ever.

    Sounds like you need to make some adjustments to avoid those backlashes! Or get some more practice!

    Oh hell ya. I think I need an upgrade.. I love the finish and the highlights.

    Quantum, if you’re listening, stick with the red highlights and bring in more stuff like that black handle. Awesome.

    It’s that I need more practice for sure! Not enough time fresh water fishing with my slick reels!
