Quantum,good value for money!
Not being a big fan of Quantum,after buying my first one i will be buying another one soon.
I have a few curado's,few penns and a core.The curado's is still my favourite but the quantum is a better reel with a more solid feel.The core is still new and might push the curado of their seat soon.
Quantum is smooth like hell.Setting it up in the beginning might take a few casts,but after that you wont look back.
Go for it.Good luck!

Another advantage of the coffee grinder is the "Bow and Arrow cast" ( adopted from flyfishing ) when fishing from the bank with tree branches or reeds and obstacles behind you, baitcasters will FAIL here...you are also more stationary thus less movement for fish to see you when sight fishing ( remember if you can see the fish, the fish has already seen you...)
For info the "Bow and Arrow cast" see the attached sketch...I will try to do a videoclip and post it 2 morrow for more explanations!

Dag ou grote... I was actually referring to casting in the wind with light line and light lures, the coffee grinder will be a better choice?

Howzit Herman,
Ek het so ruk terug ook so probeer cast met 'n klein rapala maar toe werk dit nie so lekker soos ek gedink het dit gaan nie en toe sit ek met 'n 3 angel hoek in my vinger.
Gelukkig het ek vir Monster naby gehad om my te help om hom uit te haal.
Hierdie metode lyk baie makliker as wat dit rerig is.

should've ran a poll that way it would be graphically easier to see what this thread has led to...... yes Quantum, and that is not a Biased opinion, just count the Yays and compare with the Nays.........

But you can achieve the same thing with a baitcaster by either flipping or pitching.
I do agree that a spinning reel has its uses for finesse fishing and skipping lures underneath docks, overhanging trees, etc. though.

The only time I use a spinning rig, is when I cast jerk-, popper-, buzz-, chatter- and spinner baits, softs and the likes (swimbaits even the big ones I'm making) gets strapped to my baitcaster rigs.

You see, thats why I've got a setup that consists of a 7ft heavy spinning rod, a Shimano Symetre 4500 rigged with 20lb P-Line Halo.
The other spinning rigs are much lighter and some even have 8lb fluro on them. Theres just nothing like my 7ft Quantum spinning rod with my two Zester reels Tiny reels with big reel drag, when its comes to casting a lure like a Rapala XRS6 slashbait and the likes, it just goes that extra 12 kilometers further, just kidding but that outcasts any baitcaster setup no matter what.

Ah, that explains it. It seems a little unorthodox for me since I've always used baitcasters for those applications but that is what makes fishing interesting - there is more than one way to skin a cat.
