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!
Which do you like best?
My good friend Phil alerted me to this fantastic swordfish tattoo by artist Matt Adamson. It’s difficult to understand the placement of the tattoo from the photos below but it looks to me like the tops of the shoulders, as if the swordfish has gone through the neck. Matt is [...]
This exotic fish may be native to southeast asia, but would you believe there’s one place in the United States where you can catch one right along side a largemouth bass. While they’re most commonly found here in aquariums many misinformed owners don’t realize they can grow up to 40″ [...]

We haven’t done a caption contest in a while, mostly because it takes a very special picture or video to inspire us. Today we have a video so wild we couldn’t even describe it! Hopefully you’ll have better luck though. The best description of this video left in the comments [...]

My XTRATUF II boots have been the footwear of choice for winter fishing this year and they’ve been fantastic on every outing. I’m sad that they’ll be put away in the next few weeks as summer approaches, but I’m very happy knowing they’re ready and waiting for next winter. When [...]

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.
Yeah Quantum, if you’re listening, i want a PTI Energy Spinning Reel sending my way, either the 30 or the 40 model thanks!!!
have any of you guys tried the diawa zillion real? i have one and was just curious to know what other people thought of it.
It’s that I need more practice for sure! Not enough time fresh water fishing with my slick reels!
These reels are all good..They do not ever backlash unless your not setting it right…I never have a problem i got both
Agreed, I love the system on my two Tour PT’s (last years model though).
