Are Quantum Smoke reels any good?
I’ve been impressed by the adjustability of the Quantum Smoke 100XPT. The external brakes have 13 individual settings and the tension knob clicks with each adjustment, making it easy to keep track of each change—no matter how small. This is a great choice if you like to skip docks.
