When you have been fishing for a very long time you can see the manufacturers going back to the initial reel designs, those things were functional, very durable and simple, great instructional video.
@@Saltstrong I seen that they've sold the company and are now made in China as of 2021 I believe they were made in Tulsa Oklahoma at the time you made this video have you seen any difference in the production I really wanted the smoke last year and didn't buy and I'm now wanting to buy but they are being manufactured in China now. Can you say anything to the Quality Control of Quantum at this time?
Hi if you had to pick two spinning reels 300 series for saltwater fishing for smoothness and durability at whatever the cost for saltwater fishing which would they be?
I’m coming from fishing for bass I switched over to saltwater But I seen the information you put out today I thank u for that but I’m fishing from Shore and don’t really have no spots to fish when am fishing for Snook is mainly in brackish water from Shore
Hey awesome video! How do you compare this reel to the quantum cabo? They're the same price. Also what braid are you using on those reels? Thanks for any info!
Please do review for Piscifun Carbon x and from your side give us comments how that reel works for professionals fishermans and what some people who using that reel once or twice per week can expect. Thank you
Hey man I'm looking for a surf fishing reel. I'm wondering what you would suggest for me. Here is a couple key things that I need it to have. Hopefully it's $250 or less. Oh, and I'm not even going to lie I like to get a little close to the water. So anything that has the best ipx rating please. I'd like it to hold a minimum of 180yds of 30lbs braid. Light weight. Can cast for miles. And a great drag system. And most importantly, it must have anti reverse. I think that's what it's called. I do not want the reel to go in reverse at all. If you could give me your top 3-5 choices I would be grateful. Thanks.
Hey dude, buy extra spools, for that reel, if the clicker goes bad. Have them loaded with line. Send the bad ones back to Quantum for service, they might get the message? 😎
I'm looking to buy this reel and just found out that the company was sold this year and moved to China smh .....can you say anything to the quality control as of now?? I see that you still sell them on your website, or are the ones that are being sold on your website stock before the company sold? Please let me know so I can purchase fast
Great Video Mark I met you at southeast I was buying bull bay rod love it can’t wait to buy another sniper caught 42 trout in three days on the nature coast all on slam shady a few on Alabama leprechaun my best day was 15 in,16,17,18,19,20,21 not in that order share a few slam shady with another fishermen I was promoting SaltStrong insider oh yeah all caught in my kayak
quantum hit the market soooo hard with the smoke line!!! juste incredible stuff.... make me stop using my ste-croix rod and okuma reel alll smoke now!!!
Has anyone experienced a "knocking" feel when winding in a crank bait or a bait that has some resistance to it? When I wind in a Whopper Plopper, the Smoke 3 spinning reel (and Vapor model that I tried before the Smoke 3) has a "knocking" feel when winding in the bait. My son's best friend who has never fished before wound in a cast from Whopper Plopper with my Smoke 3 and my son's Bass Pro Shop Carbonite 2.0 & he said the Carbonite 2.0 felt "night & day" better than the Smoke 3. Not sure if I just rec'd a bad batch of reels from the assembly line in China as I can't imagine this "knocking" feel when winding in a cast is standard. If so, I'm completely done with Quantum.
As Allway’s guy’s, thank’s for the Look @ Quantum🌎🇺🇸🦅💦🍃🐠 I’ve been using there gear pretty much as long as it’s been around.... Seem’s like they really went main stream back in the mid 80’s or So..? It seems to me that it was a Zebco Product,,,!!!! There gear has always Performed Well for me,,,!!!!🎣💦💦. & you don’t have to spend $190.00 To get a good Quantum Reel.🎣💦. There’s a price range for all of us, And you get the same Dedication to Detail from Quantum🌎🇺🇸🦅💦🎣
The drag clicker is the LAST thing I look at in a reel. I surf fish, and remove clickers from every reel. They are the most annoying point of fishing. I do not want someone hearing me in the middle of the night with the drag screaming on a 30# fish because I'd have 15 guys casting over my shoulder in 3 seconds. The clicker is for people who want to look and sound cool landing a 4lb redfish .
Why are you guy's advertising and selling reels that's so expensive. But personally you all said big money reels are unnecessary, the rod is the most important and don't invest in expensive reels..
I have used a smoke for the past 3 yrs. fantastic product.
I have mine spooled with 10lb spiderwire and the windknots are starting to drive me crazy.
@@DongWang-m4n How old is the line.

Used the quantum smoke pt inshore for about 7 years. Absolute beast only thing was the noise clicker sucked for sure
Great breakdown! Glad to see you doing what you love.
Thank you for the video !!! Shimano Vanford 3000 XGF at 6.3 Oz weight and 6.4/1 retrive rate an amazing reel , highly recomend it .
Hey nice video thanks for the info you wouldn’t happen to know where I could send a quantum smoke reel to be serviced?
Smoke inshore or conflict for trout redfish and flounder? Was gonna buy a pair with falcon coastal Clearwater rods
How do you compare that reel to the Shimano FL?
Thanks for the video!!
Great overview !! Nice breakdown of pros and cons

seems really great, diferent and cool, and i was in the link you leave and have a real good price for all they offer here...., thanks for the vid....
Is there any issue with the plastic butt plate? As in is it water proof from accidental drops in salt water? Thanks for any info
Great looking reel. Reminds me of my Saltist . What's the drag on that puppy?
What about the quantum smoke S3 rod? It has an interesting feature: 1/4-2 oz range !
I’m coming from fishing for bass I switched over to saltwater But I seen the information you put out today I thank u for that but I’m fishing from Shore and don’t really have no spots to fish when am fishing for Snook is mainly in brackish water from Shore
Well did they fix the clicker for 2021?

The braid you have on the reel goes perfectly together. What brand is it?
I know that YoZuri makes a braid in that color
@@blacktidelures7067 Yeah I'm almost certain it's Yozuri I was looking at braid today they had that exact color.
This is my new reel just for the rubber for the braid (the daiwa saltist back bay also has this feature and it is a relief)
90 percent of reels have that rubber band

I might've missed it. Is this reel dunkable?
Does anyone know of the knob is removable?

We like the Quantum Smoke series as well.
Nice reel, may I know what is the brand of that blue braided line? Full name please
Looks like PowerPro Super Slick V2 Braided Line Blue
I fish with this all the time!
it's either powerpro or yozuri
Good reels bro

This price, Daiwa Back n Bay 4000. Magseal plus much smoother
Рама подобной конструкции использовалась Абу Гарсия на катушке Суверен 25 лет назад.
👍
Mark's favorite word is "product" lol
Hey Salt Strong, I’m curious what size braid you tend to use on this reel and how much you can spool up?
Thanks

Anybody uses 40 or 50 size?
Had 2 won't buy another. Roller bearing is no good and parts are unavailable

Redfish are much stronger than stripers. Even a 10lb red fights harder than a 30lb stripe.
