Using the most compelling production technology available, Quantum’s new Throttle is the product of a whole new way to build a spinning reel in an all aluminum uni-body construction, versus a 2-part reel.
The design keeps all key components in one Reel Engine™, which leads to more precise alignment of the gears for a smoother more durable reel at a shockingly low price.
Priced at a hard-to-believe $59, the single housing concept of Throttle’s production allows all its internal parts to move freer and last longer.
Thanks to a rubber ‘braid band’ anglers can tie braided line directly to the spool with no monofilament backing necessary, and the uniquely designed MaxCast II spool offers superior casting distance because it reduces friction by eliminating line contact with the front edge of the spool.
Featuring a total of 10 bearings, Throttle comes in sizes 20 and 30, and is also available as a combo with a 2-piece, IM8 high modulus graphite rod for around $79.
