Funny , I had one in my hand and was going to buy it when the guy pulled the Quantum out..
Hope I made a good decision.

You cant go wrong with one of these Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier it is a quality reel for a really good price, 745 reviews with a 4.8 rating out of 5.0.. Hard to find a budget reel with that many good reviews and Bass pro shops warranty is tops.
