 Customer Reviews
Poor Quality ControlsThe Q-Vex 10 reel I purchased was defective right out of the box: the drag washers were falling out of the cylinder, the spool was crudely machined, and the main shaft moved in and out very roughly when turning the reel handle. I sent it to Quantum and they sent me a warranty replacement. Unfortunately, that one had one of the same basic problems: every couple of revolutions of the reel handle, the main shaft would stick. This is not acceptable performance, even in a $40 reel. I own numerous reels in this price range by Mitchell, Abu Garcia, Cetus, St. Croix, and Shimano, all of which work very smoothly. After notifying Quantum, they paid return postage for the second reel then repaired and returned it. Now it seems to work correctly, but my overall cost escalated due to paying postage upon the original purchase plus the first warranty return ($15 total). I requested a free spool as compensation for my troubles and additional cost, but they did not comply. Unfortunately, the quality controls on these reels seem to be sorely lacking.
