Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel – SM30XPT

The Quantum Smoke S3 spinning reel in the SM30XPT model is part of Quantum's 3rd Generation smoke design, incorporating more PT technologies and offering ultra refinement. These reels are known for their smoothness and durability, thanks to features such as the PT gearing with a super smooth oscillation system.

The Reel Engine Design 2.0 is a standout feature, providing a precisely aligned aluminum uni-body construction that ensures a silky smooth retrieve, superior freeness, and ultimate durability. This new design also includes additional oscillation support for added stability.

Another key component of these reels is the Precision PT Gears. These gears are forged and machined from high-strength aluminum, offering both durability and smoothness during operation. The CSC2 Drag System is a mutely-disk drag system that combines ceramic, carbon fiber, and stainless steel to provide superior smoothness. It features plasma arc ceramic washers that are ultra-hard and smoother than standard ceramic, as well as a redesigned adjustment system for precise micro tuning and a linear drag range.

The C4LF Carbon Fiber technology is another notable feature, as it provides added rigidity to the aluminum rotor. This ensures that the rotor won't flex under heavy loads, all while maintaining a lightweight construction. The Razor Rotor II is a CAD designed rotor that is perfectly balanced to be vibration-free during retrieve, minimizing excess weight.

The Titanium Bail is a patented NiTi memory metal wire that will return to its original shape, even after being bent or dropped. This adds to the perfectly balanced feel of the reel, regardless of how rough you are on your tackle.

The MaxCast 2.0 spool lip design is proprietary to Quantum and is specifically designed to maximize casting distance by reducing frictional contact with the line during a cast. Additionally, a braid band allows for direct tying to the spool without slippage. The LMS 2.0, or Levelwind Management System, is a precisely designed geometry of the bail and line roller that works with the super smooth oscillation system to create level line lay while minimizing line twist.

The Performance Tuned Bearings are specially designed with formulated lubrication and specifications to enhance performance. The SCR Aluminum component prevents the formation of corrosion, even in harsh environments. For additional protection against corrosion, the PT Anti-Corrosion Bearings are included. The Saltguard Protection is a multi-layer coating process that provides corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.

The Dura-Lok feature ensures proper functioning of the anti-reverse clutch in cold temperatures by increasing the number of roller bearings. PT Hot Sauce Lubrication is a specially formulated, full synthetic lubrication that offers superior protection and performance compared to other reel grease and oil.

The Foot Forward Design is unique to PT spinning reels, as 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, ultimately enhancing sensitivity.
