I have used the PTi reel this past year along with my Shimano Stradics. The
two brands are similar in performance so far. I have used Stradics for six
years and like them a lot. The PTi will save you a few dollars and perform
well. The PTi was just as smooth at the end of the season as it was when I
started. I would not hesitate to get another one.

I have been using a lower end reel for the last few years now I am at the
point where I would like to use a quality spinning reel. I am looking at
the Quantum Energy PTi spinning reel just wondering if anyone has an
opinion
on this reel or would like to recommend another model. Thanks ahead for
any
help.
