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.

I have not had good luck with longevity using Quantum reels. However that
was a while ago and I'm sure that they've changed the design of reels,
hopefully for the better.

A spinning reel that I have had good luck with is the Shimano Sahara and
Stradic reels. The Saharas I own have been beaten and abused for years now
and they still perform flawlessly. The Stradics are a great reel, smooth
and lightweight, but they are a somewhat pricier reel.
