The Quantum Merit Reel redefines affordability and performance, offering premium features typically reserved for higher-priced reels. With Sealoq 6 technology, the reel is sealed to IPX6 standards, safeguarding its gear box and drag system against water, salt, and sand. The CFX200 Carbon Fiber Extreme Drag System ensures best-in-class max drag capability and a smooth, consistent drag curve, providing anglers with outstanding control and power. Constructed with a high-strength graphite body and rotor reinforced by an aluminum sideplate, the Merit reel strikes an ideal balance between durability and lightweight performance. Its 4 sealed stainless steel bearings provide effortless, smooth retrieval in demanding conditions, while the DUR-LOQ clutch delivers instant hook sets. What truly sets the Quantum Merit apart is its advanced sealing technology, offering durability and protection that is typically only found in much higher price brackets. This reel is designed for anglers who expect uncompromising quality and performance without breaking the bank, making it a standout choice for tackling any challenge on the water.
