Who owns quantum reels

Anglers in just about every conceivable market will find what they need in a Rather brand. That is what they do. So what does all this mean to the industry?

That Rather and Zebco will continue to turn out quality products is not in doubt. Those people who are deemed valuable will keep their jobs. Those who are not, or are duplicating a service already provided, will not. Also of course, consumers loyal to the acquired brands will be concerned that their favourite gear is about to be changed watch social media when the story breaks in full!

Who knows the full extent of what will happen? It said from day one that it would add to it fishing assets — and it has done just that.

Quantum has taken a two-pronged approach to making a better baitcasting reel: 1 An emphasis on repeatedly testing innovations in a controlled setting, as exemplified by its multi-million dollar Q Lab in Tulsa; and 2 Putting Quantum reels into the hands of the ultimate testers, the pro anglers and guide boat captains that comprise a vast field staff.

We developed a set of requirements in the lab for things like drag endurance, drag smoothness, gear strength, gear endurance, bearing life, etc. We invested millions of dollars in evaluating our products. We really use our pros and captains. They will find things that you cannot duplicate in the lab.

I wanted faster reels. VanDam mentioned bigger spools that enable longer casts and bigger reel handles for additional power that are the result of Quantum engineers paying attention to the needs of pro anglers. If anything, it has down-shifted. It just goes to show you how technology has bled into every facet of the industry. What will a baitcasting reel look like 20 years from now?

I think people tend to follow others lead. I have daiwa and Abu and quantum holds their own. Energy PTs have been great for a long time, smokes have a good following. The tour edition and now tour mg are great reels at decent prices. The ACS breaking system is the bees knees. However I tend to not like the KVD stuff or some of their cheaper offerings but the code, accurist and kinetic are ok. I am not really into their rods either. But the ACS reels are where it's at.

For u can pick up an older energy pt or tour edition and have a great reel that is in a class and now the smoke is coming down in price. LOL, I have a feeling you did this to start an argument. But I am a diehard Quantum fan, I have used every brand that exist, all have failed me, except for quantum and other brands that are unusual for bass fishing. Quantum is used by some of the best bass fishermen in the world. I don't understand why people hate quantum.

As long as i am breathing, i will continue to buy quantum. No I really didn't. Quantum stuff is IMO solid at each respective price point. I've got about 30 reels, 10 of those for sure are Quantum. I buy what fits my intended purpose. Fairly often that is the big Q. In fact, today I bought 3 Quantum Accurist spinning reels. Their stuff is well built, well designed and durable and recently, just as light as other companies' products.

Weight of their reels used to be one major gripe, no more. Don't have any real world experience with their rods so I cant really comment there. I wouldn't say I am brand loyal to quantum I definitely like them a little more because they are the underdog. But right now with quantum swapping out models like mentioned you can get a serious bang for your buck. The new tour mg deffinately ups the anti with a sub magnesium reel that so far is solid.

The Exo as much as I hear the weekend angler gripe about their side plate are probably the most used of their model by pros. Y'all are all crazy Quantum sucks and makes the worst reels I have never used.

Haha just kidding guys, notice I said "never" used. True, All i hear is about the daiwas the lews , the shimanos and the abus. I gets boring after a while taking about the same gear over and over, but i never hear nobody talk about quantum.

If some of the best bass fishermen uses quantum, then i will definitely use it and try it out. I had try them all. This is why i am very loyal to certain brands like quantum, but hey everybody has their brands. I guess the fishing world isn't really like any of the other sports when it comes to having the big names pimp your gear. Having KVD as the face of your brand isn't gonna move rods and reels the same way having MJ wear your company's sneakers, but I figured it would help a little.

I don't think I've ever bought a rod or reel because a certain pro uses it, but I've tried lures that the big name guys have used to win tourneys though.
