ACS3 – The Next Generation Of Cast Control
August 26, 2009
 When developing our new Kevin VanDam Signature PT baitcast reels, Quantum engineers took our legendary ACS externally-adjustable centrifugal cast control system and not only refined the components to work better than ever, they also decided to create an amazing self-adjusting mechanism that extends the range of control to compensate for KVD's power-fishing style.
Our patented ACS3 cast control lets you unleash the longest casts, in the worst wind, and with the lightest baits, without regard to backlash. The patented, mechanical system was designed to be compact yet durable enough to stand the rigors of all-day tournament fishing. . .no delicate electronics to worry about here. You set the amount of control just as you would before with an external dial which applies up to 9 braking pins (or none at all) to match your style of fishing. Now, with ACS3 technology, you can open up your arsenal with lighter baits on lighter line, and still get incredible cast control. ACS3 is like the anti-lock braking system on your vehicle, you may not always need to use it, but when you have to, it's there to save you. ACS3 technology can be found on all Tour KVD, Energy PT SS and Reax PT baitcast reels. Learn more about this exclusive, patented technology here >>. |
Inshore Heaven: 50-Size Spool, 40-Size Body
August 26, 2009
 Quantum answers the call of inshore tournament professionals and avid saltwater fishermen that demand greater versatility from their tackle.Larger spools are proven to provide not only greater line capacities, but also easier, longer casting with today's braided and fluorocarbon lines. However, larger spools usually mean larger, heavier reels. Now, Quantum brings the best of both worlds together in our new 50-Size inshore Energy PTs and Catalyst PTs reels, built on the platform of our smaller, lighter 40-sized ultra-thin aluminum bodies. Both reels feature our exclusive, patented TiMag Salt bail system which combines an unbreakable nickel-titanium bail wire with a fail-proof magnetic bail trip mechanism, as well as our proprietary SaltGuard 6-layer corrosion protection finish. Hefty multi-stack ceramic drags provide the control you need to go after bigger gamefish, and, as with all Quantum PT reels, they employ our shielded polymer/stainless hybrid PT bearings. |
KVD-Designed, Quantum PT Engineering
August 26, 2009
 Kevin VanDam has won more money as a professional bass fisherman than anyone, ever. He has raised the bar in the sport to levels that few others will ever even hope to see, and they're going higher.
We're proud to introduce, for the 2010 line, the new Tour KVD series baitcast reels. Designed by Kevin, and engineered with the latest Quantum PT technologies, because he knows exactly what he wants when it's all on the line. Built with 11 silky-smooth polymer-stainless PT hybrid bearings, the lightweight, low-profile one-piece aluminum frame design makes use of a wider spool for handling greater line capacities, and our new ACS3 technology allows for monster casts, even in harsh conditions, without worrying about backlash. To further reduce weight, KVD designed in a carbon-fiber crank handle and a strong aluminum main gear, and for controlling the battle there's a layered PT carbon/ceramic drag sytem. There are three Tour KVD models to choose from with varying retrieve rates: 7.3:1 "Burner", 6.6:1 "Speed, and 5.4:1 Power.
