I have the 6.6 gear ratio. Used an entire season with squarebills and spinnerbaits; performed very well. I use a "loose" setting on all my reels so setting was not an issue. Recently took it apart and cleaned, all parts in good shape and works even better now.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by krak i love this reel
i got this when it was on sale for $75 and would pay the full price for another one! it is well worth the money, this reel is extremely smooth and feels great in my hand. i put it on a carbonlite microguide and it casts a mile! the side adjustment for the lure weight is very sensitive and i find it somewhat hard to get the adjustment set, that is my only complaint. if there is a better reel under $100 i have not found it.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Austinu great reel for the price
This reel was given to me for christmas. It is great for a cheaper reel and worth 100. I use the 7.0:1 for burning down crankbaits. This reel casts great, it really gets your lure out there and where you want it. I will definetly purchase another one.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ernie0325 KVD PT 100 Reel
Got this reel on a Black Friday special and finally got to try it out this weekend. OMG, took me just a couple of casts to dial it in to my liking and the rest was amazing. Excellent casting distance but the best part was how easily it flipped. With minor effort, i was flipping 20+ yards. Extremely smooth and very long casting distance. Definitely a keeper for me. Only thing i wish was better was more tuning options (1-10) rather than the 3 preset points to choose from. Regardless, amazing reel!

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?

If you are hung up on how others feel about certain braking systems, you are missing out! I don't care what thy call it because if it works for me, I WANT IT. I have been baitcastng for over 45 years and have used every type of braking system that has come along. I just bught one of these reels and it is the best casting and easiest reel to use of all I own (at least 15,all brands). If you are new to baitcasting and want a quality reel that is also user frienly, this one is it no matter the brake system. Goos Luck!

They both work equally well if you have it adjusted properly.Answers

You have to turn the handle. The only baitcast reels that the spool stops when you let go of the release are those equipped with a flipping switch and you have it engaged.Details:Â
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:Â
Robbie,Ok; sounds like you do not have unlimited funds, but need a good, reliable all purpose rod. I would suggest a Shimano Compre. You recently got into baitcasters so you really don't need the extra throwing power/distance of 7+ foot rod. I would suggest the CPCX68MHC. It is a 6'8" medium heavy rod with extra fast action, meaning that the primary bend is very close to the tip of the rod. Also, this rod is recommended to throw everything from a a 1/4 oz to a 1 oz lure. A rod recommended for lures anywhere from a 1/4 oz to 1 oz will provide you with a very wide variety of choices to pull out of your tackle box.
Oh yeah, DONT FORGET TO PUT YOUR RECEIPT SOMEPLACE SAFE. Shimano Compre comes with a lifetime warranty. I know it may not seem like you would break a lot of rods, but trust me, if you put your rod to the test and fish hard and frequently, you will have fish snap rods occassionally. With Shimano Compre, take the broken pieces back to Bass Pro and they wiil exchange it if they have one on hand or more likely give you a gift card for the purchase price. Order you another and 4-5 days later, your rod will arrive at the store with no shipping costs.
Don't get me wrong, these rods are very high quality for the money and do not often break, but if it does, you are not out $100+ . That is my suggestion, take it for what it is worth.

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:Â
A 6'10" medium-heavy fast action rod is ideal for just about any technique...very accurate casting and plenty of backbone!A:Â
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.....

Yes. I had trouble with one of my other reels to use the proper presentation but this is a great frog reel. I cought a 4 & 1/2 to 5 lb bass not to long ago on it. Hope this helpsA:Â
It will work if you buy the 7.1:1 reel though I prefer a larger, beefier reel for froggin'.

I use this reel on my pitchin rod and it is awesome.. the pitch control on this reel works better then my $200+ reels.. i think you would like this reel for frogginA:Â
IM USING THE 7 TO 1 FOR FROGGING
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
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:Â
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:Â
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:Â
I've found that the more you use it the better it gets. Hope this helps.A:Â
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

it is gold in color. i could not find anywhere what the line guide is made of. i know it looks identical to my revo, so it is probably titanium coated.Details:Â
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:Â
I think they are the same reel I had this same question also
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
this reel is worth the extra 20 just for the durability... and the pt is alittle smoother. hope this helps.A:Â
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:Â

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:Â
Is this reel just a Kinetic with KVD's name on it and a different paint job?Answers
A:Â
I think it's built on the Energy platform, it outperforms my KineticA:Â
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.Answers
A:Â
No. It is the same material used on the frame. Hope this helpsA:Â
No it is metalA:Â
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.
