Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel – SM40XPT

The Quantum Smoke S3 spinning reel – SM40XPT is the latest addition to the Quantum Smoke series, featuring advanced PT technologies and improved durability. With PT gearing and a super smooth oscillation system, this reel offers one of the smoothest and most reliable performances in Quantum's lineup. The reel is designed with Reel Engine Design 2.0, which ensures a silky smooth retrieve, superior freeness, and exceptional durability.

The Precision PT Gears of the Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel are asymmetric gear forged and machined from high-strength aluminum, providing unmatched durability and smoothness. The reel also features the CSC2 Drag System, a silent-disk drag system that combines ceramic, carbon fiber, and stainless steel components for an ultra-smooth drag performance. The system is equipped with plasma arc ceramic washers that are incredibly hard and smoother than standard ceramic washers. It also has a redesigned adjustment system for precise micro tuning and a linear drag range.

In addition to its high-performance drag system, the Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel is constructed with C4LF Carbon Fiber, a long carbon fiber infused polymer that adds rigidity to the aluminum, preventing the rotor from flexing under heavy loads while keeping the weight of the reel at a minimum. The Razor Rotor II, a CAD designed rotor, ensures a vibration-free retrieve and reduces excess weight. The reel's Titanium Bail is made with patented NiTi memory metal, allowing it to return to its original shape even after being bent or dropped, providing a perfectly balanced feel regardless of the roughness it may endure.

The MaxCast 2.0 proprietary spool lip design of the Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel maximizes casting distance by reducing frictional contact with the line during a cast. It also includes a braid band, allowing you to tie directly to the spool without slippage. The LMS 2.0, which stands for Level Line Lay, is a precisely designed geometry of the bail and line roller that works together with the super smooth oscillation system to create level line lay while minimizing line twist.

To ensure long-lasting performance, the Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel is equipped with performance-tuned bearings that are designed with specially formulated lubrication and specifications. It also features SCR Aluminum, which prevents corrosion formation even in harsh environments. PT Anti-Corrosion Bearings provide additional protection from corrosion in tough conditions, while the Saltguard Protection utilizes a multi-layer coating process to protect the reel against corrosion in saltwater environments.

The Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel also includes Dura-Lok, an increase in the number of roller bearings in the anti-reverse clutch to improve lock-up power and ensure proper functioning even in cold temperatures. The reel is lubricated with PT Hot Sauce, a specially formulated full synthetic lubrication that offers superior protection and performance compared to other reel grease and oil.

Lastly, the Foot Forward Design of the Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel ensures that the foot of the reel is offset in relation to the stem, shifting the weight of the reel rearward on the rod. This design helps to balance longer rod lengths, enhancing sensitivity and giving you an extra edge while fishing.
