Quantum Accurist Performance-Tuned Cast Reels - $129.95 | Before designing their Accurist Performance-Tuned Casting Reel, Quantum took a long look at their reels and talked to a lot of people who know what does and doesn't work in a baitcasting reel. The result of all this research is a design that features several industry firsts. For instance, it is well known that centrifugal anti-backlash brakes are superior to fixed magnetic brakes, but having to remove the sideplate to access the centrifugal brakes has always been a problem. This takes lots of time, and in some models you run the risk of dropping the sideplate in the water and losing it. Quantum has solved this dilemma by offering the first centrifugal brakes that can be adjusted externally, with just a twist of the control knob. The Quantum accurist PT reel offers 9 brakes that can be engaged and adjusted instantly for changing conditions, like when you are casting into the wind or with the wind, or when a light breeze turns into a howling gale. The Accurist also features specially designed bearings that offer increased life and smoothness by using customized bearing materials that complement each other for optimum performance. These bearings are lubricated with a specially designed oil that will not break down and is not too heavy, allowing the spool top performance at the incredible speeds modern baitcasters can achieve. The Accurist has a one-piece graphite frame to keep the internal parts where they belong and minimize flex, and super-light spools that will reduce inertia and allow the spool to ramp up instantly to speeds of over 20,000 RPMs on the cast. This reel also has an accessible flipping switch that cannot be accidentally turned on, protecting your cast and reel from ruin. Taken together, all these features add up to a great reel at a very reasonable price.
