Penn is not what Penn was many years ago, and Quantums always seem to have troubles. As far as spinning reels are concerned Daiwa is the best. Line management alone is far superior,digigear system is really good. Airbail is super strong. Tierra or an Advantage wouold be my choice.

I have seen more trouble with Quantums in the surf here in NY than any other reel. Cabo`s that actually had metal filings al over the reel when opened up,gears stripped,and don`t even start with the baitcasting stuff,,nasty. Daiwa is a superior spinning reel.

Well they are not made for surf fishing that is like saying "I don't like my pick up it dose not go over 90 mph". O and I just got back from buying a quantum blue runner inshore rod.

Dude you are always posting about all this equipment your looking at and your gonna buy, have you bought any of it...

Also that list of equipment you sent me,,, my wholesaler said you can get it from wherever you found it becuae on some of the top dollor top shelf reels like that TLD 50 his prices are about the same as BASS PRo... And he doesn't have the other stuff like the rods..

Sometimes my guy has what you might need and sometimes not,,, it's like going to the good will or a garage sell sometimes you find cool stuff and sometimes not.... He gets stuff in massive quantities... when things get nicked or damaged from sports authority or something, he goes in and buys up all the inventory... Pretty cool.....

And as for as getting all the rods.... that you talked about earlier and stuff, i"m not attacking you, I just don't someone blowing smoke.... but that's an awful lot of equipment for recreational purposes.
