From what iv read, it sounds like the magnetic break is alot better then the centrifugal brake, so is it a big deal that this reel doesn't have the magnetic brake? I would be buying it for cranking, and I was going to pair it with one of them micro guide BPS titanium rods, I'm new to baitcasting reels (own a quantum code too), so any help is appricated. The KVD signature series is a magnetic break reel, is this better or worste casting reel?

well im 16 years old and just got into fishing bout a 4/5 months ago and i was wondering what would be a good rod for doing basically everything for a good price something thats not over say atleast 120$ thanks!Answers
A:
I paired this reel with the carbon lite 7' heavy. The price is $109, and well worth it. It's a very comfortable, durable, and sensative combo.You can do anything with this set up from flipping 3/8 oz lures to throwing heavy musky lures.

I put this reel on a 7'0 Bass Pro Cranking rodA:
A 6'10" medium-heavy fast action rod is ideal for just about any technique...very accurate casting and plenty of backbone!A:
St. Croix Premier. Excellent rod and can be purchased for around 60.00 Buy a 6 foot medium action. I have this rod with the quantum reel, excellent combo. Trust Me.....

IM USING THE 7 TO 1 FOR FROGGING
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
this reel is a great reel for frog'n. as far as the correct speed i would recommend the 6.4 ratio so that when the bass hits the frog u have enough speed to remove the slack but wont be gutless if the bass hunkers down in the weeds and u need to winch him out.Details:
I purchased this KVD PT Reel today, 1-Im a BIG KVD FAN,2-I wanted a Good Crankbait Reel with a smooth but STRONG drag,& 3-I wanted the Geat Reel all you guys make it out to be! My question is (Out of the box & no line on it),Have any of you guys noticed that when you are reeling with the (ACS) off its quiet & sounds like every other reel, but when you turn the (ACS) on the spool gets a little louder? It almost sounds like you are reeling in line, or like maybe there would be a little dirt or dust on the levelwind. I called BPS & the Associate tried 2 of these reels & said it sounded that way to him also. So,I'm asking,is this normal for this reel or all Quantum Reels with the ACS? Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated.....GOOD FISHING!!Answers
A:
I believe this is due to the metal ring that moves in or out when you adjust the cast control, if you pop the side plate off and adjust the cast control you'll see what I'm talking aboutA:
I've found that the more you use it the better it gets. Hope this helps.A:
I have 2 of these reels and they work great.With the acs off its in free spool with no resistance at all,when on it engages the brakes which makes a little noise nothing to worry about and does not cause any performance issuses.

I also work at our local pro bass and every quantum reel i have ever played with has a gear whine to it. this does not mean that they are not a great reel but they are almost all noisey. i hope this helps.Answers

TITAINIUMDetails:
I have narrowed it down to either this or the Energy PT. I need a 5.1:1 reel. Is the energy worth $20 more?Answers
A:
I think they are the same reel I had this same question also
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
this reel is worth the extra 20 just for the durability... and the pt is alittle smoother. hope this helps.A:
Spend the extra money to get the Energy PT. You have an extra bearing and a better cast control system. Plus, in my opinion, you get a better reel. I was talked out of getting the Energy PT. I like this reel too, don't get me wrong, but should have spent the extra money to get the Energy. You could also do a Curado E from Shimano and get a quality reel as well.Details:
I am a big fans of Quantums. I need a new 5.1:1 reel, and I was wandering if this should be the one.Answers

these are a great buy and i think that it is definatly worth the extra cash...A:
Great reel, highly recommend!
Top 250 Contributor
A:
oh my gosh yes!!! haha.. i have 4 of these in 5.1:1 ratio.. all for deep cranking... if you are looking for a good quantum thats not too expensive... this is "the one" for you... it sure was for me... i have 14 in all... they have different gear ratios of course but they are fantastic... dont be supprised how good they are your first time on the water... hoped this helped and good luckDetails:
Is this reel just a Kinetic with KVD's name on it and a different paint job?Answers
A:
I think it's built on the Energy platform, it outperforms my KineticA:
you have a few features that are better with this one than the Kinetic. As for the price difference, I would stick with the Kinetic if you didn't want to spend the extra $50.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
nope. you can tell the differenceAnswers
A:
No it is metalA:
the reel is almost identical to the energy reel. i got both of them and i honestly have to say i dont prefer the energy over this reel. save yourself the money and buy this one. they are both great reels but the price difference is and little crazy.
