Since 1984, Quantum has thrived in the American tackle scene. But six years ago we decided to take our reels to a new level of innovation and quality. We gave our engineers and designers the green light to bring their high performance R+D projects to market. To make this transition from lab to market, we gave them a new US$5 million prototyping and testing facility. This allowed them to design, develop, engineer, test, improve and retest completely inhouse. Years of use and exposure to the harshest saltwater environments can be replicated within days. The results of these efforts are Performance Tuned reels. But the guys didn t stop there. The Performance Tuned reels found in this guide are second generation PT lighter and sleeker than the originals. Performance Tuned means higher grade materials, tighter tolerances, more R&D, more testing and ultimately a better fishing experience for you. QUANTUM PRODUCT GUIDE

Bragging Rights For us to brag is one thing, but to be bragged about is a whole different story. And at Quantum these days, there s a whole lot of bragging going on.

4 Bragging Rights For us to brag is one thing, but to be bragged about is a whole different story. And at Quantum these days, there s a whole lot of bragging going on. Rave reviews about our products continue to roll in and make us proud. Best of the Best, Editor s Choice awards as well as the accolades of hundreds of complimentary s and letters from anglers around the globe, and we cannot help but feel good about the rise of our brand to the very top in today s market. So, why then can t we leave well enough alone? Continuous improvement and constant tweaking are PT Performance Tuned habits that we cannot seem to break. That s good news for you, because at Quantum there is no such thing as it s as good as it gets. When our engineers accomplish one improvement, they are off to another challenge. They call it job security; we call it obsessive-compulsive. What that means is, even if you re not quite ready for our top-ofthe-line gear, every single product we make benefits from our highest standards of quality and innovation that come from our best-of-the-best mindset. When you buy a Quantum saltwater product, you re getting the finest gear available on the market today for modern day fishing. We call it fishing at a Quantum level. 4 find the latest on quantum at jarviswalker.com.au

5 Harsh, corrosive saltwater. Extremely aggressive fish. And the chance that every cast can bring something much larger than you bargained for. To put it mildly, the ocean isn t kind to mediocre fishing tackle. Which is why Quantum engineers were doubly hard on our new PT Saltwater Series. We set out to develop the finest light tackle saltwater products by understanding the demands of the saltwater environment and then obsessing over each and every detail of the design and manufacture. We have a state-of-the-art test laboratory that allows us to create every imaginable saltwater environment and fishing situation, perhaps short the sunburn. We can test our drags against the biggest and most powerful fish ever to roam the deep blue, and probably know more about our competitors drag systems than many of them do. That s just how we approach business here. The result? Judge for yourself. QUANTUM PRODUCT GUIDE

7 Performance Tuned spinning reel features* * Some features available on selected models only. Polymer stainless hybrid PT bearing Quantum PT engineers have developed the highest performing bearings in the industry using technologies originally developed for large turbine aircraft engines. In order to create the smoothest reels found anywhere, our engineers designed a hybrid bearing utilizing nitrogen-injected stainless steel, combined with special polymers that shield the bearings to reduce friction and noise, and provide a carrier which protects each bearing from the elements. These new nitrogen-injected alloys are stronger and more able to resist pitting and corrosion under extreme stresses. Saltgard 6 layer corrosion protection finish Working with marine experts, Quantum exclusive Saltgard 6-layer finish protects with a dense molecular barrier on the aluminum, followed by two separate corrosion inhibitors, primer paint, a base coat and finished with a clear coat for the ultimate protection from the harsh saltwater environment. Saltgard is available on all Quantum PT saltwater products. Multi-stack ceramic drag Quantum PT spinning reels feature a stacked ceramic drag system designed to perform under pressure. The special ceramic coatings give our drags more consistency and also dissipate heat much more quickly than traditional drag systems. These ceramic materials reduce drag fatigue by virtually eliminating the heat build up from long fish runs. TiMAG Salt Titanium bail with magnetic trip Quantum s legendary TiMAG titanium bail wire is made from super-elastic nickel titanium which is designed to hold its shape no matter what kind of torture you put it through. Besides its flexibility, it s also unbreakable, and we guarantee it for the life of the reel. TiMAG also replaces the traditional bail springs with a magnetic system that will never wear out. Gone are the days of stretched and worn springs that foul at the absolute worst time. Magnets are permanent, super-tough, and ideal for this application because when the tournament is on the line, your equipment has to work, and Quantum reels featuring the TiMAG system always perform. You ll also notice that TiMAG offers quicker action and together with our LMS Line Management System it opens 30 wider for better line flow. MAGLOK Continuous Anti-Reverse Quantum s exclusive MAGLOK is the industry s only magnetic roller clutch. A strong magnetic ring replaces traditional springs for quicker engagement and better corrosion resistance. The integral design, combined with the industry s largest rollers, can withstand 2 times the load without deflection, and provide better cold weather performance than standard roller bearings. Extra-hard PT gears Special materials give Quantum PT gears the optimum balance of smoothness and durability. Computer guided hobbing equipment precisely forms each tooth, one at a time, for a perfect mesh. LMS line management system Quantum s exclusive LMS Line Management System virtually eliminates the hassles associated with traditional line roller and bail designs. Line is precisely directed onto the line roller to reduce line twist. The bail opens up to 30 wider into a protected pocket, helping to consistently shed line for better line flow and longer casts. Long Stroke designed aluminium spool Quantum PT Long Stroke spools give you the ability to cast greater distances, with greater accuracy. Their lightweight construction and special spool lip design means line will flow freer from the spool. QUANTUM PRODUCT GUIDE

19 HOT SAUCE Reel Oil & Grease In 2001, not satisfied with standard lubrication, Quantum engineers set out to develop a premium, high performance, lubrication for their high-end reels. Working with several lubrication scientists, at one of the worlds best custom lubrication companies, they spent countless hours formulating and testing the best technology had to offer. What they came up with was a special, proprietary blend of synthetic and organic additives to provide the ultimate balance in performance, protection, durability, and smoothness in both grease and oil used for fishing equipment. Although the formulation is proprietary, some aspects of it can be revealed to inform the general public. Hot Sauce grease does not have any kind of abrasives or lapping compound contained in it. The grease does, however, have a fine Teflon powder suspended in it to improve durability by reducing friction and wear. Teflon is a common additive used in lubrication. There is no such thing as Teflon based grease, as some people claim. All solid matter has a certain degree of surface roughness regardless of how smooth or how polished it is. The Teflon in Hot Sauce is formulated in such a way as to fill-in any roughness. The super slick nature of Teflon used in this manner provides unparalleled smoothness and durability. It is possible to see these Teflon particles with a good eye or microscope. Other unique aspects of this proprietary formulation include: great adhesion to parts caused by the physical and bonding properties of the formulation, additives for superior corrosion protection in saltwater, and long life and durability by protecting the base oil from aging. Due to all the additives and complexity of the formulation process, Hot Sauce is not the cheapest lubrication one can find. In fact, Quantum engineers had a difficult time implementing this in production because of its high cost. Quantum Hot Sauce can be used in any product, spinning, baitcast, trolling, or spincast with great success. Thousands of people have reaped the benefits of Hot Sauce outside of fishing products as well, like in the home and shop. The formulation makes it good for many applications where there are moving parts, wear, noise, and/or corrosion issues. The versatility of Hot Sauce makes it well suited for all freshwater and saltwater applications regardless of style or brand of reel Quantum Hot Sauce grease Quantum Hot Sauce oil QUANTUM PRODUCT GUIDE

Van Staal NO LIMITATIONS

Van Staal NO LIMITATIONS There are select types of fishermen who strive to push themselves and their equipment to the limit. These fishermen have passion that demands more than ordinary fishing tackle.
