Vapor™ PT

The pinion gear is held exactly in place by two ball bearings so there is no contact with the spool shaft during casting, thus eliminating any friction.  With a properly adjusted ACS system, casts are freakishly long.

Multiple anodize, primer, and finish coatings create a sealed barrier of saltwater protection to ward off the effects of Mother Ocean.

PT Bearings are built to our exact design standards of performance specifications. We’ve tested hundreds of bearings in our Q Lab  to determine the exact bearing specifications that can stand up to the abuse and stress from the most demanding anglers.

PT Gears are designed by our proprietary CAD program and manufactured to precise tolerances to yield world class smoothness. Durable high strength materials are used so your reel will handle heavy use for years to come without compromise.

Quantum’s patented Adjustable Centrifugal System allows you to dial in the exact amount of braking force without removing the side cover that’s required on other reels.  This allows you to make fine adjustments quickly as conditions change.

Every PT reel comes from the factory with our proprietary PT Hot Sauce lubricants. Its formulated specifically for fishing reel applications to lower friction and increase the longevity of each reel.

A convenient button located under the reel allows you to rotate and remove the side cover for spool access and maintenance.

A precision stainless steel clutch bearing is designed to withstand bone jarring hooksets without any backward spool movement.

A 90mm power handle is constructed of multiple layers of carbon fiber for an incredibly stiff and strong handle to whip the biggest fish in the lake, and it looks pretty cool too.  

A rigid, lightweight one-piece aluminum frame resists any torque from big fish.  CNC machining of critical mounting locations for gears and bearings keep the gear train in perfect alignment throughout the life of the reel.

Our patented multi drag disk design combines carbon and ceramic washers to perfectly balance smoothness with power.  The carbon washers have the job of providing stopping power and good drag lockdown while the ceramic washers provide drag consistency and smoothness.

In the wild, strong is what thrives.That’s why every Quantum rod and reel has been tested to exceed the wear and tear you can expect from years of real-world use. And to back it up, we’re proud to offer the industry’s longest reel warranty, with a 5-year limited warranty on all of our reels, rods and combos Read more

Ceramic discs dissipate heat faster than other materials and provide smooth, reliable fish-fighting power year after year.

Our anti-reverse systems are designed and tested in the Q-lab to deliver a lifetime of instant hook sets.

This centrifugal system is the most accurate braking system ever designed for baitcast reels. A turn of the dial turns on as many brakes as you need for the conditions, or turns them off for the ultimate in free-spooling.

This triple bearing support system completely disengages the spool shaft from the reel’s pinion gear for absolutely no friction during the cast – and incredible casting distances.
