The Cabo PT's look pretty sweet. Except for a little higher price, could give ABU's a run for their money. A few nice features to justify the extra cost though like the stronger frame and side plates, etc. Parts availability might be the biggest issue though. I wouldn't mind checking them out.

Based on my past experience with Quantum, I'd hold off until some positive feedback came in, after a season of hard use.

I'm mixed on the Quantums - I have a Big Iron 410 baitcaster and the things always solid - plus I know someone that got a 53#er on one so they can handle big fish. Problem I had with them was parts... I Broke the levelwind pawl cap and could not get the parts - they said I needed to ship the reel back  |

i was watching the fishing show that shaw grisby hosts yesterday morning. he was fishing from a boat using the new quantum PT spinners and convench's. they were targeting small school tuna. the reels performed extremely well! i liked how these new reels looked when i first saw them in a cataolog, but was leary about using a quantum. if i had a need for another conventional, i would give serious thought to them. quantum can't be all bad, after all, as they are owned by Van Zebco.......  |

Toby---I think Jeff used to have a Quantum Iron. He and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& got theirs about the same time, as I recall. I think he told me it was a decent reel "for one season"  |

I have used a 4000 sized Quantum Kinetic 2 seasons now and have had no problems. I may try one.
