Why
Performance
Tuned™?
Our engineers fish. And when they're not fishing they're
thinking about fishing. Thinking. Tinkering. Toying.
Dreaming. Failing. Winning. Oh, they always get it right, even
if it takes them, well, three years, like PT did. (A calendar
year is like 10 in Quantum "engineer life." Strange beings, they
are.)
Quantum PT could stand for "painstaking." It took great pains to
create Performance Tuned - to design and test the mechanics that
make up this line of light tackle. And our engineers were
finally at peace. For freshwater.Then, as usually happens with quality tackle, PT made the move
to salt, and sent us back to the drawing board. So, for
saltwater anglers, that means PT might just stand for "perfect
timing."Harsh, corrosive saltwater. Extremely aggressive fish. What kind
of tough tackle comes between the two for those bluewater
crazies who like a little light in their fight?
PT Saltwater. Performance Tuned - finalized through trial and
error, baptized in saltwater - is all about tough. It took
countless hours to perfect the inner workings and outer coatings
that define this Quantum line. A lot of them in our test lab
before even getting a hook wet.Why PT? Because it's our obsession. It's bearings in our sleep,
ceramics for breakfast, and every waking moment trying to find
the right solutions for the toughest crises that baitcast and
spinning reels and rods encounter...and the right combinations
for fishing's toughest critics - you. It's three years in the
making. But who's counting. No time clock here |

Neoprene bag
 |
Saltgard six-layer finish starts with an anodized
conversion coating that forms a dense molecular barrier on the aluminum.
Two separate high temperature dip processes deposit a corrosion
inhibitor in the microscopic pores of the aluminum, protecting it from
saltwater intrusion even if it's scratched. The surface is then primer
painted, followed by a base coat and a clear coat to provide additional
protection and keep you reel looking its best.

PT Gears
Smoother than smooth. Specially developed alloys
significantly increase the hardness of our gears for whisper smooth
performance over the life of the reel. CNC hobbing equipment precisely cuts
each gear tooth the same way,
one at a
time. Made in small production lots, drive gears are custom matched to our
pinion gears to further ensure
smooth retrieves and cranking power.
Customized PT™ Bearings
Most reels use stock, low-cost bearings originally designed for other
applications. Not ours. We developed our own
stainless bearings to exact specifications to minimize vibration and
rotational friction. We even fit them in a
special polymer composite bearing cage to dampen noise and intensify
sensitivity during retrieves.
Ceramics Technology
Ceramics Can Take The Heat. PT reels use a
variety of ceramic technologies to improve function. Our
baitcast levelwind system features a rock-hard ceramic-coated
wormshaft mated to a Zirconia pawl to greatly reduce wear in
this critical area. Our drag systems feature ceramic washers to
eliminate wear and dissipate heat for smooth performance during
long runs.Our ceramic discs (with matching stainless steel washers)
provide a drag that maintains exact preset conditions because
the ceramics will not swell even under extreme heat. Multiple,
oversized drag washers in the front and rear of the BocaPT and
CaboPT spinning spools provide maximum contact area and help
distribute pressure for very accurate and consistent
performance.

TiMAG™II Bail & Magnetic
Bail Trip
The industry's only nickel-titanium bail is super elastic, lighter and
thinner than steel. Nickel-Titanium is also corrosion-proof, so plating
isn't necessary. The TiMAG II system also uses the world's first magnetic
bail trip. The multi-pole magnetic system accurately and consistently
positions the bail open and closed each and every time. It's so reliable, it
comes with a LIFETIME BAIL WARRANTY.
ThinLine™ Aluminum Bodies
Quantum ThinLine bodies are the most streamlined in the
industry, an ergonomic masterpiece. They are built of aluminum
ro reduce weight with absolutely no flex.
ThinLine bodies can be found on all Performance Tuned™ spinning
reels (EnergyPTi, CatalystPTi and KineticPTi) as well as
Quantum's Pulse™ and Icon™ spinning reels.

MAGLOK™ Anti-Reverse
Boca and Cabo spinning reels use our new MAGLOK™ anti-reverse
system. Strong magnets replace conventional springs for zero
backplay in the handle and rotor. This design also makes for a
far more corrosion resistant system than traditional clutches.
