Quantum Cabo for extreme adventures

Quantum’s Cabo has long been a consistent hitter in saltwater, but now it comes with a totally redesigned and modernistic lightweight frame with more metal inside and out than it’s competition. The Cabo comes loaded with a huge, strong center shaft complimented by stronger threads to provide all the lockdown power necessary, and a super-sized, water tight drag for when braided lines are at work. Massive ceramic and carbon fiber washers sit ready to resist heat in a sealed Magnum CSC™ drag system to allow line to slip smoothly off the spool with whatever resistance you choose to dial in up to 55 pounds. Speaking of corrosion free, this “airy” looking reel features a clutch seal to prevent water and debris from entering the clutch housing and causing it to slip. Further eliminating corrosion is a re-designed line slider made of stainless that will last a lifetime. Further solidifying the new version Cabo is a doubly-secured oscillating gear and slider to eliminate ‘slop’ or ‘play’ when the reel is placed under higher loads. And a Quantum exclusive TiMag® titanium bend-resistant bail system with magnetic trip makes for the most enduring line management system in the business. Protecting the sleek frame is Saltguard™ 2.0 – which contains a Quantum exclusive SCR™ Alloy that is impurity free to prevent a source for corrosion to set in. The SCR Alloy is then covered in Quantum’s proprietary coating process to further prevent rust. Available in 40, 50, 60 and an 80 size, with 10 bearings.
