Frequently Asked Questions - Tour KVD-B QUANTUM

How do I adjust the magnetic brakes on the Quantum Tour KVD-B?

Turn the external dial on the non-handle side plate. Higher numbers increase braking to reduce backlash, lower numbers allow longer casts.

What is the proper way to spool line on this reel?

Thread line through the rod guides, open the bail or thumb bar, tie line to spool, and wind on under tension. Use a line spooling station or have someone hold the spool with a pencil.

How often should I lubricate the reel?

After every few fishing trips or when the reel feels rough. Use quality reel oil for bearings and grease for gears. Clean with isopropyl alcohol before re-lubricating.

Why does my reel make a clicking noise when reeling?

Clicking usually indicates a dry or dirty one-way bearing. Disassemble, clean the bearing with solvent, and re-oil. Also check the anti-reverse clutch.

Can I use braided line on the Quantum Tour KVD-B?

Yes, braided line works well. Ensure the line is spooled tightly and use a mono or fluorocarbon backing if needed. The spool is designed for braid.

How do I remove the side plate for cleaning?

Turn the side plate lock (if present) or unscrew the knurled nut. Carefully lift the plate. Refer to the manual for specific steps. Avoid losing springs or bearings.

What is the maximum drag setting?

The Carbon Matrix drag provides up to 18 lbs of stopping power. Adjust the star drag wheel while pulling line to test.

How to fix a bird's nest (backlash)?

Stop reeling immediately. Gently pull out the loops manually, then remove the spool and work out tangles. Practice with higher brake settings to reduce backlash.

Is the handle interchangeable between right and left hand?

The reel is available in right-hand retrieve. For left-hand, purchase the left-hand model. Handles are not field-swappable on most baitcasters.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Contact Quantum customer service via their website or visit authorized repair centers. Common parts like drag washers and bearings can be ordered online.

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 baitcast 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 baitcast 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.
