Quantum Reels, which one?

[moreyes]

I am looking at getting new spinning reel and like the looks of the Quantum Catalyst or the Kinetic. One has more bearings and 20.00 dollors more, any comments on either recomendations? Is the Catalyst worth the extra 20.00?

Thanks moreyes

I have one of each of these reels. To be honest I like both of them. The catalyst is a little smoother, but very similar. The kinetic is smooth although the handle is a little big. Either way I think you'll be happy. I really don't see 20-30 dollars difference in the feels of the reel. Drags are both smooth and I have had no prolems in the past 6 MO with either. They don't have a ton of use but I think they are pretty solid. Only issue is their weight. A little heavier than a comparable shimano or diawa.

Good luck, Eyewall
