If you return the spinning reel you bought and spend more for another, consider a Shimano Stradic. I get tired of everyone crowing about how great Shimano reels are, but there's a reason they do. They're a darned good value.

After tiring of folks touting Shimano and not wanting to support the Japanese economy, I bought 2 Johnny Morris spinning reels to replace a couple of Stradics that had been stolen from me. One of the Stradics I'd had for many years, and it still fished like new. The other was a newer model I traded a guy a Lews baitcaster for. It was a funky white color but fished sweet.

The JM reels are well balanced and smooth as silk, but they're just plain out not built as well as the Stradic. That's firsthand experience not hearsay. Never had a Quantum pti, so I have no opinion.
