Reel Review


Tech Tackle precision reels and rods are sure to bring a smile to any angler (continued)
 

Quantum Cabo CNW30PTS: While the Quantum Energy PT XMetal may have been my favorite overall the Cabo is by far the most detailed. The reel looks like the real thing, and the gearing feels the most solid. There is a moving freespool lever but it is just present for cosmetic reasons. What puts this combo over the top is the Cabo PTS mini rod. The rod is the most detailed rod of the series, and it also has the most genuine action. Attention to detail on this rod is downright phenomenal. Tech Tackle got the colors and logos just right, and the guide work is so good its not even funny. It is as if they somehow managed to shrink the real thing. The rod makes use of soft rubber to mimic hypalon grips, and even has an oversized rubber gimbal cap. If you really wanted to catch a innow or goldfish with one of these combos you would have the best chance with this outfit.
 

The smallest Quantum offshore reel you will ever see

 

Also about the size of a dime
