I hear from loads of listeners looking for reliable gear on a budget, particularly for saltwater.

Now if that's you, look no further than Quantum's new merit reels and combos.

With reels starting at under $100 and combos under 130, you'd be hard pressed to find tackle in this price range that packs as many features and boasts this level of durability.

C-Lock-6 technology keeps sanded saltwater out of the reel body, rotor, and carbon fiber drag,

which stops monsters as smoothly as reels with much higher price tags.

Opting for a combo? Features like One Piece stainless steel guides on the graphite composite rods

mean no inserts

to chip or pop out at the worst times.

But I watch these guys, they're like all these intricate little bits of things to make these rigs and we do this and this trace and that. And I'm just like, just tie a fucking high-low rig, dude. Why are you got to do all that? Why are you doing all that? Tarpen there is an exception. We wanted to be able to keep the tarpon somewhat in the water at all times. Yeah. You know, we're not dragging it up on the beach and doing a shaking bake for fish from. Right, yeah.

Although I heard the villages down there, shake and bake for a fish fry.

Right, yeah.

Although I heard the villages down there,

they make tarp and meatballs.

It's a communal thing.

I'm sure they do.

I wish I could have tried him,

just to say I did.

To hedge his bets,

Raghetti called him myself

and a few more of Atlantic City's finest finest to fish on his team. Even offering to pay for our bus tickets and supply all the

Kueloos we need for the night.
