Quantum Smoke Speed Freak Spin Reel
New for 2015, the Quantum Smoke Speed Freak spin series features a fast 6.2:1 gear ratio for dynamic variety when retrieving lures, along with an indestructible titanium bail wire, a lightweight C4LF carbon fibre rotor design and CSC carbon-stainless-ceramic drag system.
There are four Smoke Speed Freak spin models: the SL25XPTiA weighs a miserly 7.9oz (224g), retrieves more than 33in (83cm) per turn of the handle and holds 160yd (146m) of 20lb braid. The SL30XPTiA weighs just 8oz (227g), winds in 36in (91cm) per turn and accommodates 220yd (200m) of 20lb braid. Sizes 25 and 30 are available now; sizes 40 and 50 are due to arrive in Australia later in 2015.
Smoke Speed Freak spin reels have an advanced drag system that uses a unique stack of carbon fibre, stainless steel and ceramic washers to deliver a silky smooth and impressive 20lb (9kg) of drag power. Each model has 10 bearings and one anti-reverse bearing, plus a lightweight aluminium frame and gear-side cover. The double-anodised MaxCast II™ spool delivers impressive casting distance and protection against wind knots. Other features include a soft-touch EVA handle knob and distinctive red trim that blends well with Quantum’s typically-stylish Smoke matt black finish.
The new Smoke Speed Freak spin reels are a must for any angler using cutting edge luring techniques, and for those who appreciate the variety and versatility that extra speed offers when lure fishing.
Quantum Smoke Speed Freak Baitcast Reel
The all-new Quantum Smoke Speed Freak baitcast reel features a screaming-fast 8.1:1 gear ratio—which rips in 35 inches (89cm) of line for every turn of the handle. It also features Quantum’s new ‘PTX’ frame, designed to add rigidity while reducing overall weight, which is just 6.4oz (181g).
The new Micro Infinite ACS external centrifugal cast control has a 250-degree rotation, adding 13 new settings for an even wider range of control for precise adjustments. Plus, when casting, the new Smoke Speed Freak design disengages from the pinion gear completely, allowing the spool shaft to ‘float’ freely for zero friction, adding even more distance to your casts.
The Speed Freak baitcast reel includes the improved new CSC2 drag—an advanced system that uses a stack of carbon fibre, stainless steel and ceramic washers to deliver a silky smooth and impressive 25lb (11.3kg) of drag power. The reel design features 10 bearings and one anti-reverse bearing, plus a lightweight aluminium frame and gear-side cover, which removes quickly for simple maintenance.
The aluminium spool holds 170yd (155m) of 30lb braid and other features include an aluminium PT main gear and drive shaft, titanium-nitride coated line guide, spool tension click knob, soft-touch EVA handle knob, plus distinctive red trim.
Smoke Speed Freak baitcasters will suit lure fishers seeking better casting distance, a tough drag system and the versatility of the impressive 8.1:1 high-speed retrieve.
