(continued)
Totally Redesigned Spinning Reels: The
Quantum spinning reels have really taken off since the introduction of the
Catalyst PTi and Kinetic PTi which utilized the first generation fail-proof
TiMAG system. Redesigned for 2006, the Energy PTi, Catalyst PTi, and
Kinetic PTi makes use of the improved TiMAG III titanium bail with magnetic bail
trip mechanism. This system has more powerful magnets for greater performance
along with sure reliability. New to these popular spinning reels is the Line
Management System (LMS) which contains Quantum's Rocket Roller and Pocket Rotor
which controls and eliminates the hassles associated with traditional line
rollers and bail designs, ultimately translating into reduced line twists and smoother
casts.
The Kinetic PTi also gets an
upgrade with the next generation PT advances. The tiny ultralight XPS spinning reel
also receives improvements
Ultralight anglers aren't left out of the 2006
line up. From initial impressions this reel will be adored in the hands of trout
and finesse anglers. This coming year you will be able to obtain the totally
redesigned Xtralite XPS spinning reel. This tiny reel, weighs in at only 6.1
ounces, has 6 quality bearings, a true Continuous Anti-Reverse system, and a
fully machined handle with a unique wooden crank knob.
Performance Tuned Saltwater Baitcaster:
A low-profile saltwater reel?!? Yup! For 2006 Quantum will introduce their first
true saltwater specific baitcast reel. The Accurist PT saltwater reel will have
Quantum's rugged 6-layer Saltgard corrosion protective finish. In addition all
the critical components will make use of stainless steel for greater long-term
durability. This baitcast reel will have a 6.2:1 gear ratio with a line capacity
of 150 yards of 12 pound test line, making it applicable for many inshore
species.
