For your Consideration is.. Vintage QUANTUM CATALYST PTi CT40 SPINCAST Reel Item Description QUANTUM CATALYST VINTAGE SPINNING CASTER FISHING REEL Previously enjoyed. Straight the rod, could use q-tip cleaned. showing some paint wear in normal areas. A FANTASTICALLY SMOOTH & ROBUST REEL. VERY FUN TO CATCH WITH! 8 BEARING! 5:2:1 RATIO CERAMIC BUSHING DRAG Reel Fishing SPINNING REEL Cast ITs SMOOTHE! THESE ARE SOME OF THE FINEST CRAFTED REELS EVER! With a quick visual inspection this Performance Tuned(PT) reel has noticeable unique features. First is the thin bail wire. Wait! It's not a traditional metal bail. The new Quantum PT spinning reels utilize their latest and the industry's only Nickel Titanium bail, which is part of Quantum's TiMAG II bail system, plus a magnetic bail return that triggers every time for soft easy bail returns. The Catalyst PTi uses an all metal construction with a Thin Line body design made from a single piece of aluminum that's compact and lightweight. The solid aluminum frame is integrated with a side cover that does not have any screws on the exterior wall. To add a final touch to this truly piece of art work the frame uses a special vacuum deposition finish that's scratch and corrosion resistant and gives the Catalyst PTi an awesome slick appearance. TiMAG II System: Want a bail wire and return mechanism that won't fail? Quantum developed the TiMAG II system that is very reliable. The TiMAG II system consists of the industry's only revolutionary titanium bail that's durable and elastic plus a bail return system that uses magnets instead of springs. The TiMAG II bail is created from Nickel Titanium. When this strong and flexible titanium is bent it bounces right back into its original form. This means that the bail will never be twisted out of shape and the reel will always be balanced. Other benefits from using a Nickel Titanium bail is that it's thinner, lighter, and corrosion proof. Springs, as we all know, have a tendency to fail over time, especially under heavy usage. That's not a problem to Quantum's TiMAG II bail return mechanism that uses magnets because each time the polarity applies the equal amount of force to make the bail snap back into position. These magnets will not lose polarity, stretch, or wear out. TRU-Balance Design: TRU-Balance is a computer designed system that virtually eliminates wobble and vibrations when retrieving. Computer designed offset rotor arms are used to counteract the bail's inertia to allow maximum smoothness during your retrieves First the Catalyst PTi is extremely smooth. This is due to the fact that it contains 8 polymer-stainless hybrid bearings, and along with Quantum's Hot Sauce and their specially engineered brass alloy gears make the Catalyst PTi silky smooth. The Drag: Two words that define the drag system... Precise and Smooth! Quantum's Ceramic Magnum drag system sandwiches the spool between Teflon and stainless steel discs to obtain absolute stopping power. Also the spool rotates on the Teflon bushing that keeps the drag smooth and consistent when the fish decides to make a run for it. The ceramic drag system is also tougher and dissipates heat better than normal drag washers being used in other reels. The ability to finely adjust the drag in the smallest increments is a big plus!
