Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reels are Quantum’s 3rd Generation smoke design with more PT technologies and ultra refined. These reels feature PT gearing with a super smooth oscillation system, making them one of Quantum’s smoothest and durable reels. Reel Engine Design 2.0 Precisely Aligned Aluminum Uni-body Construction for Silky Smooth Retrieve, Superior Freeness and Ultra Durability. 2.0 comes with additional oscillation support for extra solid feelPrecision PT Gears: New asymmetric gear forged and machined from high-strength aluminum providing durability and smoothnessCSC2 Drag System: Mutely-disk drag system that combines ceramic, carbon fiber, and stainless steel for smoothness. This system also is made with plasma arc ceramic washers that are ultra-hard and smoother than standard ceramic. It also features a redesigned adjustment system that allows precise micro tuning and linear drag range. C4LF Carbon Fiber: Long carbon fiber infused polymer for added rigidity of the aluminum, so the rotor won’t flex under heavy loads at half the weightRazor Rotor II: CAD designed rotor is perfectly balanced to be vibration free on retrieve and minimizes excess weightTitanium Bail: Patented NiTi? memory metal? bail wire will return to its original shape, even after the bail is bent or dropped, for a perfectly balanced feel no mater how rough you are on your tackleMaxCast 2.0: Proprietary spool lip design maximizes casting distance by reducing frictional contact with the line during a cast. A braid band also means you can tie directly to the spool without slippage. LMS 2.0: Precisely designed geometry of the bail and line roller works in concert with the super smooth oscillation system to create level line lay while minimizing line twist. Performance Tuned Bearings: designed with specially formulated lubrication and specificationsSCR Aluminum: Prevents formation of corrosion even in harsh environmentsPT Anti-Corrosion Bearings: Additional protection from corrosion in harsh environmentsSaltguard Protection: Multi-layer coating process for protection against corrosion in saltwater environmentsDura-Lok: Number of roller bearings is increased in the anti-reverse clutch to improve lock-up power, and it insures proper functioning in cold temps. PT Hot Sauce Lubrication: Specially formulated, full synthetic, lubrication has been developed to provide superior protection and better performance than other reel grease and oilFoot Forward Design: Foot on every PT spinning reel is offset in relation to the stem to shift the weight of the reel rearward on the rod helping to balance today?s longer rod lengths adding that extra edge in sensitivity
