Fishing Tackle: New Quantum Smoke Speed Freak spin reels
Athletic high-speed reels with carbon drags and lightweight construction. Field-test video includedNew for 2015, the Quantum Smoke Speed Freak spin series features a fast 6.2:1 gear ratio for dynamic variety when retrieving lures, along with an indestructible titanium bail wire, a lightweight C4LF carbon-fibre rotor design and CSC carbon-stainless-ceramic drag system.
There are four Smoke Speed Freak spin models: the SL25XPTiA weighs a miserly 7.9oz (224g), retrieves more than 33in (83cm) per turn of the handle and holds 160yd (146m) of 20lb braid; while the SL30XPTiA weighs just 8oz (227g), winds in 36in (91cm) per turn and accommodates 220yd (200m) of 20lb braid. Sizes 25 and 30 are available now; sizes 40 and 50 are due to arrive in Australia later in 2015.
Smoke Speed Freak spin reels have an advanced drag system that uses a unique stack of carbon fibre, stainless steel and ceramic washers to deliver a silky smooth and impressive 20lb (9kg) of drag power.
Each model has 10 bearings and one anti-reverse bearing, plus a lightweight aluminium frame and gear-side cover. The double-anodised MaxCast II™ spool delivers impressive casting distance and protection against wind knots.
Other features include a soft-touch EVA handle knob and distinctive red trim that blends well with Quantum’s typically-stylish Smoke matt black finish.
The new Smoke Speed Freak spin reels are a must for any angler using cutting edge luring techniques, and for those who appreciate the variety and versatility that extra speed offers when lure fishing. New Quantum Smoke Speed Freak baitcaster reels are also available.More information: quantumfishing.com.au.
