San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I know this has been asked 100 times, but it’s my first time asking. I have a few Quantum Smoke reels, at least 7 or 8 years old. This weekend I busted a few teeth off of the main gear, that was a surprise. What reels do you guys like for durability and does anyone notice if higher ratio reels crap out quicker than lower ratio reels. Thanks.

The Daiwa TWS (t-wing system) reels are awesome baitcasting reels, cast really far and very easy to cast without backlashes. I have only had mine for a few months but have other Daiwa reels that are over 40 years old. There are several different models, I have the smallest. I know others with the same real and they really like it too.

You can most likely find this part and replace it yourself

Thought about it. But you know Father’s Day is coming up soon!!!

I use any of my 200 series freshwater bass reels
