Quantum OPTIX Spinning Fishing Reel

Size 20 Reel

Optix spinning reels are loaded with features including a strong and lightweight graphite body, solid brass pinion gear, TRU-Balance rotor design, and a forged and machined aluminum spool that delivers super smooth drag runs.

Continuous Anti-Reverse clutch
Lightweight composite body and side plate
Front-adjustable drag
Changeable right- or left-hand retrieve
TRU Balance rotor
Machined aluminum spool


Machined Aluminum Spool The aluminum spool provides great strength under pressure and more durability than plastic spools. The aluminum is able to handle the stress put on the spool by monofilament or braided line.	Changeable Right- or Left-Hand Retrieve Perfect for any angler, the reel comes equipped with changeable right- or left-hand retrieve for an easy and individualized fishing experience. Changing the retrieve is simple and does not require any tools.	Front-Adjustable Drag Designed with a front-adjustable drag for quick and easy access to adjust the drag resistance so you can keep that fish hooked. The higher the drag, the harder it is for line to exit the reel. The lower the drag, the easier it is for line to exit the reel.
