I have been using a Quantum Snapshot (15lb test max) for 7 yrs and have done nothing to it. Works like a
charm regardless of abuse. Although the above comment is true, I also just bought a new larger Quantum
for $35. Seems cheaper than the one I bought 7 years ago. Already feeling loose and sometimes the bail
doesn't even close with 20 turns of the handle. Someone mentioned the "back and forth" movement
of the handle. I also have found this true. After seeing what they produce in 98 compared to 90, I now
consider Zebco as disposable as a BIC lighter and am moving to Penn (tommorrow!).
