A super-compact baitcaster with increased line capacity and long-cast abilitysounds impossible, but here it is. The Quantum pt smoke S3 bait cast reel defies the trend with both downsized palm ability and all-around performance. The secret: a larger 35.5 mm fitted spool, plus a reconfigured ACS 4.0 cast control system that's lighter and more sensitive than ever. Together, these advances deliver greater line capacity, longer casts, and more line pick-up per handle turn than similar-sized reels. Meanwhile, the low-profile pt smoke S3 comes loaded with the features top anglers count on: rugged aluminum X-frame with pt thumbs and gull-wing side cover; full salt guard protection; pt line memo technology; super-smooth pt gear design; premium 10+1 bearing system with 2 pt speed bearings, 3 ptac anti-corrosion bearings, 5 stainless steel ball bearings, and 1 roller bearing for the continuous anti-reverse clutch; easy-starting, micro-adjustable ACS 4.0 cast control with specialized brakes that disengage at about 5K RPM, for extra-long cast capability; powerful ceramic-carbon drag system; and a pt power handle with zero friction design. Smooth and strong, this reel fishes much bigger than it looks
