good point about kvd....except he endorses the wild shiner jerkbait. I don't think he fishes it...he just endorses it.

Bass Pro has this baitcaster on sale at 1/2 price. It was the top of the line baitcaster last year and they have a few left handed models in stock. Original price was $199 on sale for $99. I own mostly Shimano's but with the prices going up on the Curado I thought I would give the Quantum a try. I have never used one so I'm just hoping that I'll like it. I think you have 30 days to return it. The one thing I do like is that it has externally adjustable brakes which I think Shimano will eventually go to. Bass pro reels have already made the switch. Thats the only complaint I have with Shimano reels, you have to take the side plate off to adjust them. Its a pain to drop one of the little plastic brakes in the boat and try to track it down while fishing. Sorry I think they only have left handed models left. Quantum must be good or Kevin Van Dam would never endorse them, Right?????

Yea, I was being a little sarcastic. They have to support their sponsors, at least in front of the camera.
I have 3 of them and really like them.
Thanks for the info, if it wasn't half price I would be more cautious about changing brands. I'll give it a chance anyway.trentonc2000.
No problem. I've been using the Rick Clunn reels for a few years and really liked them, but they weren't as durable as they should be. I switched and really like the Quantums. Especially the magnetic brake vs the centrifugal (ugh!).
Did you purchase or see this reel on sale at the BPS store in Clarksville, IN? I went over there this morning and they had plenty, but they rang up at normal price, $99.95. Fella said if I could bring him some proof that they sold them for 1/2 half, he could maybe deal with me.
Thanks.
Oops, ignore my previous post. I misread the original post. Yes they are $99 and they have right handed models. I read the post as original price 99 and on sale for 1/2.
Sorry.
