Frequently Asked Questions - Team KVD QUANTUM

How do I set the drag on my Quantum Team KVD reel?

Rotate the star drag control clockwise to increase tension, counterclockwise to decrease. A good rule is to set it to approximately 1/3 of the line pound test. For left-hand retrieve reels, reverse the direction.

How do I adjust the spool tension for casting?

Hold the rod at a 45° angle, press the thumb bar, and hold the spool. Adjust the spool tension knob until the lure slowly descends when you release thumb pressure. The spool should stop when the lure hits the ground.

How do I access the spool for cleaning or changing?

Slide the button on the bottom of the side cover, rotate the cover downward about 1/4 turn, then pull it off. The spool can be removed easily. This is a quick-access bayonet mount system.

What lubricant should I use for maintenance?

Quantum recommends using Quantum Hot Sauce™ lubricants. Apply sparingly and wipe off excess to avoid negatively affecting performance.

How often should I service my Quantum reel?

Professional cleaning is recommended at least once a year at an Authorized Quantum Service Center. Regular maintenance ensures precision performance.

What is covered under the warranty?

The warranty covers defects in workmanship and/or materials for one year from original retail purchase. Damages from abuse, misuse, normal wear, or neglect are not covered.

How do I order replacement parts?

Find the parts diagram on quantumfishing.com. Identify the part number and order directly from the Factory Service Department, authorized centers, or online. Always state model number and part description.

Can I repair my reel myself?

Repairs by unauthorized persons may void the warranty. Quantum recommends using an Authorized Service Center for repairs to ensure proper handling.

What if my reel is damaged from saltwater use?

Saltwater models receive faster warranty service (24 hours). For general service, ensure you rinse and lubricate after saltwater use. Refer to the manual for care instructions.

Thank you for choosing Quantum

Your new Quantum reel has been designed, engineered and built to be the best in the world. Our state-of-the-art testing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma has tested and verified every aspect of this reel in conditions above and beyond what you may encounter during your next fishing trip. Welcome to Fishing at a Quantum Level.

ABOUT YOUR NEW QUANTUM REEL:

Setting the Drag

The wide-range drag on your Quantum reel allows line to be pulled smoothly from the reel under tension without breaking. The drag, controlled by the star mechanism on the handle, may be accurately adjusted for a wide range of fishing conditions. Gradually rotate the drag control clockwise to increase the tension, counterclockwise to decrease the tension (use the reverse of this for left-hand reels). A good rule of thumb is to set the drag to approximately 1/3 of the pound test of the line you are using.

Spool Tension Knob

When using a baitcast reel, the spool tension knob must be adjusted properly to allow peak casting performance. To properly set the spool tension, perform the following procedure: a) With line, lure and rod assembled, hold the rod at a 45° angle. b) Press the thumb bar while holding the spool with your thumb. c) Finely adjust the spool tension knob until the lure slowly descends to the ground as thumb pressure frees the spool. The spool should stop at the instant the lure touches the ground.

Quick-Access Spool

Your Quantum bailcast reel has a unique bayonet-mounted side plate for quick, convenient access to the spool to make cleaning and lubrication easier. Just slide the button on the bottom of the side cover, and rotate the cover downward about 1/4 turn. You can then pull the side cover from the frame and remove the spool. Changing spools in a bailcast reel was never easier. Plus, the sleek, ergonomic side covers and body have no external fasteners to catch line or clothing.

Proper Maintenance

Quantum reels are designed to exacting standards to provide you with years of precision performance when you properly maintain and lubricate. Be sure to exercise care when applying oil and grease. Overflow onto certain parts may negatively effect performance of the reel. Apply all lubricants sparingly, and wipe off any excess before using. We recommend you have your Quantum reel professionally cleaned at least once a year at an Authorized Quantum Service Center in your area, and that you always use Quantum Hot Sauce™ lubricants.
