I see how the spool slopes up the sides a little. How will this affect putting line on the spool because to me it seems like the center would be loose.
(read all my Q&A)

A:
Keep the line spooling in the center until the line you have spooled on "levels out", meaning you have filled the valley. I do this by adjusting the drag; when I need the line to "skip" a section, I loosen off the drag and turn the handle unitl the line retreiver is back to where I need it to be. Then I tighten the drag down and reel in more line. Repeat this action until the line you have spooled is even across and then you can spool as normal.
A:
The slopes are there to keep the line running on the spool evenly and to add strength to spool itself where needed most. Doesn't affect the action of spool or amount of line it holds. I spool mine with close to 400 yards of 30 lb. test mono.Answers

Nice reel, should work well for you. I have one on a flippin stick and it is holding up wellA:
Not a bad rod, but you can't throw it as far with a shorter rod like that. I suggest maybe a 12 or 13 foot Meathunter rod. You can throw over 100 yards easily with either length rod and a 6 to 8 oz. weight.Details:
I have tried 17 lb and 14lb mono and it always slow down and doesnt cast very far, i have put the brakes on 3 and loosened the knob but it still wont cast very far any tricks that i cold use to help performanceAnswers
A:
Gotta check your weight size as well. Lighter the lure/weight, lighter your line has to be to get decent casting distance as well. With my 14 ft. river rod and 8 oz. weight, I have no problem throwing mine out 125-150 yards from the bank below the dam. All depends on what you use and what you're trying to do with it. If you're using smaller baits/weights/lures, you need to switch to a lighter class reel. This reel is designed for chunking large baits with large weights long distances.A:
Try opening up the reel and give it a good cleaning. Even if it's brand new there may be excess grease on the gears wich oddly enough will cripple your casting distance. I learned this the hard way with my last Quantum reel. Clean all the dirt and grease out and put a small amount of oil on the gears/bearings. This made a huge difference for me when I had this problem.A:
use a hevier weight for hevier line it also depends on the rod you are using. if you are still wanting to cast the same baits use smaller line like 10lb. you should also try to oil the points where the spool touches the reel
Top 100 Contributor
A:
If your reel has seen significant use, I would say your problem is the reel needs cleaned. Any build up around the spool and internal parts will cause excessive drag on the spool, slowing it down therefore reducing your distance. Try this; remove the side plate and spray with Reel Magic or KVD Line & Lure conditioner. Spray inside the cover where the magnets are. I dont know how heavy the lures are you are throwing but 3 sounds a little tight on your setting. I usually set mine on 1, Don't be afraid of the line you are using. I have three of these reels and I use 20, 17 and 15 pound floroucarbon without any issues. I also use Reel Magic or KVD Line & Lure conditioner on the lne also, makes the line a little "softer" which might help your distance.A:
Use 10 lbs u know it can cach up to like 20 lbs fish just because it is 10 lbs line dosent mean u just can cach 10 lbs fish try that and the I recommend u switch to florocarbon line much better good luckDetails:
I have some Bass Pro baitcasters and some Abu Garcia baitcasters and I would like to know if they are any good.Answers
A:
Abu Garcia ambassadeur series baitcasters are among my favorite reels to use. Have several different sizes and all perform flawlessly and are of excellent quality. Very easy to use and durable reels. Some of the bass pro series reels I've had excellent luck with, and some are just not very durable, too much plastic inside when should be metal. Depends on what you're trying to do with them. Quantum reels are of excellent quality and durability as well. I'd rank them up there with the Abu Garcia stuff. Haven't had any problems with them at all. Hope this helps.A:
This reel is pretty good for its money. Its compares to the revo line pretty well. I have several revos as well.A:
i have two and love mine the thing i would look for in a reel is if you can take the side plate off with 1 button not because i use extra spools (too expensive $30 for most) but for mantanceA:
It's outstanding. Great quality material, stand up to the heat and cold really well for me. Use it for everything pretty much and the reel is effortless and the sensitivity on it is amazing with a 6:3:1 ratio. I recommend it.A:
I left quantum for abu and bps reels. Quantum are not durable at all. I would stay far away from them...
A:
Not as smooth as my carbon black. But it is a decent reel. It is a smaller reel than the Bass pro reels that I own. I can feel the difference on the retrieve, but it also $30 less.Details:
i am new to baitcaster reels and im only 13 years old i know it has to do with flipping but how do i use it.Answers
A:
it is a switch on the side of the reel that when you put it in the on position when you let up on the cast button it emiditly returns and stops the spool insted of staying down untill you start to turn the handleA:
when you flip it on it disengages the spool so you flip your bait without pressing the thumb button.A:
It puts the reel into flipping mode. It stops the spool when you relase the thumb-bar.A:
It allows you to FLIP your bait to close targets ,generally in stained to muddy water? Google Flipping and Pitching with bass fishing. Many video's out there on it? Look at the old timers , Tommy Biffle, Denny Bruaer as they are masters.A:
When you set it to flip you do not have turn the handle to re-engage the reel. As soon as you release the button the reel is engaged.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
when you put it on it will allow the spool to be engaged without turning the handle. Basically the spool release button will pop back up once you let it go.Details:
I wanted to purchase a new reel with either ten or eleven bearings, and I'm debating between purchasing this reel or the Johnny Morris Reel. Which one is a better reel?Answers
A:
dont worry about the number of berings are in a reel but this is a very good reel i have tryed a johny morris reel and like this one much betterA:
get the johnny morrisA:
I have both and I don't think you could go wrong with either one of them. I'm a little partial to KVD as he lives 6 miles from me.A:
I have both of those reels. I like the flippin switch on the KVD reel. Both cast well with the same number of bearings. I love topwater. With the KVD reel I use the flipping switch on so when the bait hits the water you are ready to set the hook. With the Johnny Morris you have to set the reel. Hope this helps>A:
They are both good reels for the money. They share similar features and are both very well preforming. I have had two of the KVD signature series reels and havnt had any problems with them. This reel works as well as my quantum energy pt. The johny morris reels are very good too.my buddy has several of them and he has had good luck with them. I have use them a few times and like them alot too. I think that they are pertty evenly matched but i think that the kvd reel casts farther and reels a bit better but the johnny morris reels are a bit easyer to tune. The spool tension it a bit tricky to get right on the kvd reel but is compinsated by the great breaking system on them. I hope this help you in your choice.good luck!A:
I have both. The johnny Morris is a better reel in my opinion. They used to be a $100 more but recently they have come down in price. If you have the money get the JM. You will not Be dissapointed in the pro qualifier, wait until it goes on sale for $79.A:
Ask Johny who makes his reel? I believe it's Quantum? They are very similar in feel and performance. I have had both but feel the quantum "outlast" the BPS version.A:
I cant say enough about the KVD reel. It was so smooth I couldn't put it down.Details:
What is the fliping switch for, and what position does whatAnswers
A:
When the switch is on, taking your thumb off the spool release button stops the spool, rather than letting the spool spin.A:
Google Flipping? It's a technique primarily used with jigs?Muddy Water, close to targets. Research pitching while you are at it? It will be your next question?A:
One position is like a normal baitcaster, the other is for flipping / pitching. When it is in the flipping position you do not have turn the handle to re-engage the reel. As soon as you release button the reel is engaged.A:
For either flipping or casting and I really enjoy this feature on the reel. Other baitcasters it kinda tricky to flip but with this reel it is a piece of cake.Answers
A:
If you reel with your right get a right handed reel if you use left handed spinning reels then still go with a right handed reel since most baitcasters sold are right handedA:
if you cast with your left hand then get this reel in a RH version to reel with the RH after the cast or flipA:
Right
A:
If you prefer reeling with the right hand, stick with the right-handed reels, whatever is more comfortable for you.A:
...Stick with the right handed reels, if you are more comfortable reeling with the right hand.

A:
Right if you reel with your right hand.Details:
I have 2 of these reels. I know how to get the side off but not sure how to set the braking.Answers
A:
remove the cover on the palm side of the reel. Inside you will see numbers from 0 to 6 that is how many brakes you want for casting. The more brakes the harder it is to backlash. I would recommend starting with 4. So rotate the centeral ring until the mark on the side of the ring is at the number 4. Then put the cover back on and try casting, and if too tight open it up and go back 1.A:
Yes; Definitely set the inside to 3-4, before you ever start casting. The red dot is on the outside of the #'s. Just rotate it around to the 3 or 4 position, on the inside dial. Then, close the cover and set the outside to 5-6, to begin dialing the reel into your casting style.
A:
there is a black rubber rim around the break disc with a red arrow to line up with the numbers. Dial the the the disc to desired setting.A:
when you get the side cover off you will see some numbers inside turn to number 3 .start from there.A:
Put it all the way to 10 and adjust the right-hand side.A:
IT IS SIMPLE I KEEP TWO WHITE BRAKES ON AND TWO RED BRAKES ON, MAKE SURE THE BRAKES THAT ARE ON ARE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDES OF EACH OTHER NOT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. THIS IS FOR LIGHT LURES AND HEAVY LURES JUST ADD ONE MORE OF EACH COLOR.A:
I set it per the instruction included with the reel, and it works super, this is something I had never done before, and it worked great on my first try.A:
Its really quite easy. Once you take off the side plate, you will see a dial numbered 0-6. The outside ring has teeth or grooves cut into it. You set it buy turning the OUTSIDE ring until the SMALL WHITE DOT corresponds to the arrow next to your desired number setting. Personally, I keep mine set on 3 or 4. This setting in concordance with an outer setting of 5 gives me great castability and few if any backlashes. One other recommendation - buy some Hot Sauce OIL and lube all the spool bearings and the worm gear regularly. This will greatly improve the performance of this reel. Hope this help and good fishing!
A:
Here is a link to Quantum’s Web Site. This shows how to change your braking systems to prevent backlash. Thank you!http://www.quantumfishing.com/Resou...

I am looking for my first baitcasting reel and want to know what is easy to use and reliable.Answers
A:
i like a reel with a flipping switch in fact i dont own one without a flipping switch. out all thouse with the flipping switch i like the quantum kv1100cxe. they are on sale right now at bass pro shopsA:
This reel by all means. My two grandsons learned how to baitcast with this reel and they love it.A:
I am not a pro but this reel makes me look like one, I have used it from everything from jigging for walleys to throwing crank baits and found it very user freindly, its the best baitcaster I have owned, and was a good buy for the price.A:
I like the Quantum over the Shimano model I own because the Quantum doesn't seem to back lash on far casts like the Shimano does.A:
THINK ABOUT IT . NAME THREE TOP ANGLERS!!!!!!!!!!! WHICH ONE OF THEM USE A SHIMANO KVD, SKEET, CLUNN . TRY THE QUANTUM SIGNATURE SERIES REEL YOU WILL ENJOY IT I DO.A:
Go for the middle tier KVD, smoke pt, or bass pros pro qualifier. The cheap KVD is well, cheap. It's worth the extra 50-100 bucks for emA:
Unless you got the money to blow.. maybe start with a flueger or daiwa baitcaster should be around 50 dollars on the cheaper side. But start with a cheap one until you know you want to really start using one. Some people just don't end up liking themA:
This reel. You can't go wrong.
