finding a used reel

zooker · 09-18-05, 01:03 PM

i found one the other day at a yard sale and older quatum 441 pitching reel works great got it for $10. first thing i did upon getting it home was tear it down and lube it up real well. i spooled it up with braid and caught fish with it today. these reels are a tad bit like throwing a shimano. to much gas in the cast and you would get a backlash. light and sutle-perfect for roll casting- it was goin long almost always.

up on speaking to 1slowboat this morning i found out that quantum made a 441 in a slower gearing -mine is 6.1-and called it the cranking reel. does any body have one of these they may want to sell? i know pigglyNjiggly should have some prying them loose is a differant story..
