Thank you for choosing Quantum
Your new Quantum reel has been designed, engineered
and built to be the best in the world. Our state-of-the-art
testing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma has tested and verified
every aspect of this reel in conditions above and beyond
what you may encounter during your next fishing trip.
Welcome to Fishing at a Quantum Level.
ABOUT YOUR NEW QUANTUM REEL:
Setting the Drag
The wide-range drag on your Quantum reel allows
line to be pulled smoothly from the reel under tension
without breaking. The drag, controlled by the star
mechanism on the handle, may be accurately adjusted
for a wide range of fishing conditions. Gradually rotate
the drag control clockwise to increase the tension,
counterclockwise to decrease the tension (use the
reverse of this for left-hand reels). A good rule of thumb
is to set the drag to approximately 1/3 of the pound test
of the line you are using.

Spool Tension Knob
When using a baitcast reel, the spool tension knob must
be adjusted properly to allow peak casting performance.
To properly set the spool tension, perform the following
procedure: a) With line, lure and rod assembled, hold
the rod at a 45º angle. b) Press the thumb bar while
holding the spool with your thumb. c) Finely adjust the
spool tension knob until the lure slowly descends to the
ground as thumb pressure frees the spool. The spool
should stop at the instant the lure touches the ground.
Quick-Access Spool
Your Quantum baitcast reel has a unique bayonet-
mounted side plate for quick, convenient access to the
spool to make cleaning and lubrication easier. Just slide
the button on the bottom of the side cover, and rotate
the cover downward about 1/4 turn. You can then pull
the side cover from the frame and remove the spool.
Changing spools in a baitcast reel was never easier. Plus,
the sleek, ergonomic side covers and body have no
external fasteners to catch line or clothing.

Proper Maintenance
Quantum reels are designed to exacting standards
to provide you with years of precision performance
when you properly maintain and lubricate. Be sure to
exercise care when applying oil and grease. Overflow
onto certain parts may negatively effect performance
of the reel. Apply all lubricants sparingly, and wipe off
any excess before using. We recommend you have your
Quantum reel professionally cleaned at least once a
year at an Authorized Quantum Service Center in your
area, and that you always use Quantum Hot Sauce™
lubricants.
