Quantum Vapor PT Spinning Reel – VP25XPT

The Quantum Vapor PT Spinning reel – VP25XPT is known for its smoothness and durability, thanks to its PT gearing and super smooth oscillation system. It features Reel Engine Design 2.0 with a precisely aligned aluminum uni-body construction, providing a silky smooth retrieve, superior freeness, and ultra durability. This latest version also comes with additional oscillation support for a solid feel.

The Standard PT Gears are made from high-strength aluminum, forged and machined in an asymmetric design for durability and smoothness. The reel also utilizes the Standard CSC Drag System, which combines ceramic, carbon fiber, and stainless steel to provide superior smoothness. The Vapor reel includes a newly designed adjustment system for nearly linear drag, but does not have Plasma Arc drag washers.

One of the unique features of the Quantum Vapor PT Spinning Reel is the C4LF Carbon Fiber. This long carbon fiber infused polymer adds rigidity to the aluminum, preventing the rotor from flexing under heavy loads while keeping the weight low. The reel also features the Razor Rotor II, a CAD-designed rotor that is perfectly balanced to be vibration-free during retrieval and minimizes excess weight.

The Titanium Bail is another patented feature of this reel. Made from NiTi memory metal, the bail wire will return to its original shape, even after being bent or dropped. This provides a perfectly balanced feel no matter how rough you are on your tackle.

The MaxCast 2.0 design on the spool lip maximizes casting distance by reducing frictional contact with the line during a cast. The reel also has a braid band, allowing you to tie directly to the spool without slippage. The LMS 2.0 system, consisting of the bail and line roller, works in concert with the super smooth oscillation system to create level line lay while minimizing line twist.

The Quantum Vapor PT Spinning Reel is designed for performance and longevity. It features performance-tuned bearings with specially formulated lubrication and specifications. The SCR Aluminum construction prevents corrosion formation even in harsh environments, and the PT Anti-Corrosion Bearings offer additional protection.

The reel is further protected by a multi-layer Saltguard coating process, providing corrosion resistance in saltwater environments. The Dura-Lok system increases the number of roller bearings in the anti-reverse clutch to improve lock-up power and ensure proper functioning in cold temperatures.

In terms of lubrication, the reel uses PT Hot Sauce Lubrication, which is a specially formulated full synthetic lubricant. This lubrication provides superior protection and better performance compared to other reel greases and oils.

The Quantum Vapor PT Spinning Reel is designed with a Foot Forward Design, where the foot is offset in relation to the stem. This design shifts the weight of the reel rearward on the rod, helping to balance longer rod lengths and adding extra sensitivity.

The handle knob of the reel is made of cork rubber, offering comfort and a tactile feel. This is particularly beneficial during long days of tournament fishing.
