Constant splash and spray takes a toll on kayak fishing gear. Quantum’s Energy PTs low profile saltwater baitcaster is built to handle the punishment, featuring Saltgard corrosion protection, extra-hard PT gears, and a polymer-stainless hybrid bearing system.

“It makes sense to have a reel that is designed to handle the saltwater environment,” says Quantum Kayak Team representative Brett DeLong. DeLong feels the PTs is ideal for Newport:  “The ultra smooth bearings and the light skeletal spool provide the pinpoint accuracy needed to cast between the docks and yachts that cost more than most of our houses. With the 7:1 gear ratio on the Burner models any spotted bay bass is going to be pulled two feet off a dock piling or out of the eel grass before he even knows what hit him.”
