Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Rod

Faster tapers for 2018 create a rod with better tip action for enhanced sensitivity, and a more powerful butt for improved hook setting force. A carbon fibre wrap on the handle adds strength to the HSX64 high modulus graphite blank (in either 36 ton for more durability, or 40 ton for improved sensitivity), and it sports a Fuji skeletal reel seat and Kigan aluminum oxide guides. The Kigan glides are uniquely designed to be slightly larger than a micro glide but smaller than a regular glide, which Quantum says is the best design for glide performance. Six one-piece models are available in lengths of 6’3” to 7’4”, 9 to 10 + tip guides, for line weights of 6-14 lbs, lures of 1/16 to 3/8 oz, with extra-fast action, and medium-light to medium-heavy power.
