Quantum Tour Edition KVD Casting Reels - $299.95

Designed by 5-time B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year, Kevin VanDam, and engineered with the latest Quantum Performance Tuned technologies, the Quantum KVD Series Casting Reels deliver the performance KVD requires to continually execute at the highest level. Featuring increased line capacities, these lightweight, low-profile reels are also now available in three (3) unique gear ratios tailor-made to fit KVD's aggressive style of power fishing.

The Quantum KVD Casting Reels notably benefit from Quantum's new ASC3 Self-Adjusting Centrifugal Cast Control, which allows you to launch extra long casts, in the worst wind, with the lightest baits, and not have to worry about back-lashing. Quantum compares it to the anti-lock braking system in your vehicle - you may not always need to use it, but when you have to, its there to save you.

All Quantum Performance Tuned reels, including the Quantum KVD Casting Reel, begin with a solid one-piece aluminum frame, machined with computer-guided precision to hold all critical components in perfect alignment. To further reduce weight, KVD designed a carbon-fiber crank handle and a strong aluminum main gear, and delivering the power and precision to control the battle, a layered PT carbon/ceramic drag system dissipates heat to stay smooth throughout its range. Designed by the best in the world for use by those who are as serious as he is, the Quantum Tour Edition KVD Casting Reels are what VanDam uses when it's all on the line.

Comments: I found this reel in the RH 7.3:1 gear ratio brand new in the box matched with a new KVD Tour cranking rod on ebay for $285 total for $20 shipping. Saved a lot of money and the reel is so awesome. Its by far the best reel I have ever owned!

From: Brandon: Fort Jennings, OH

Comments: Best reel Quantum makes!  All three gear ratios cover cranking, spinnerbaits, and plastics/jigs.  A must buy if your a Quantum guy, and can't wait to get some more of them.

From: Blaine: Baton Rouge, LA

Comments: The reel is by far the best in the business. The best reel for $300. Quantum should wait about 5 years before they build another reel

From: Michael: GA

Comments: The New KVD is Awesome....  I am a huge Quantum Fan and catch a lot of Greif over it, but all I can say is this reel is great.  I have the 2008 PT tour 1160 Blue and the Smoke and the KVD blows them away.  Very smooth reel and not near as loud as the others during a cast.   Still has noise to it when casting but 3 times quieter than the smoke or the PT 1160.  My brother has the Chronarch by Shimano and gave me a bunch of trouble for not puchasing the Chronarch.  Hopefully this reel will be around for a while!  the only downside to quantum is they change their reels every 2 years and it hard to find parts..  Hopefully this one will be around forever!

Comments: I have one really impressed with it the rest of my reels are Shimanos it rates with them.Will buy more

From: Frank: TX

Comments: unbelivable reel. i am a quantum guy. I have all the quantum reels...the smoke, the tour edition, etc... this is by far the best one i have ever used. i can make long bomb casts with a 1/4oz spinnerbait INTO the wind. the cast control is awesome

From: Joe: Deer Park, NY

Comments: This reel is a good improvement over the 2007 Tour. Reels SO SMOOTH. Casts like a dream very easy to setup. Oh and don't listen to that negative comments because there crazy and prob quantum haters. I been using the LH Tour KVD since it was released on TW AMAZING its perfect

From: Sonny: Wareham, MA

Comments: Good reel but I would go with the regular tour edition or energy.

Comments: These reels are Horrible, They are definately in the 100 dollar reel catagory not the 300 dollar reel catagory.   My shimano citica's have it all over these things and my curados are hands down twice the reeel that this is.  very cheaply made, "looks nice" but thats about it what a dissapointment for this kind of money

From: Jeremy: Punxsutawney, PA

Comments: Man I hate to say anything bad about this reel, but people deserve to know about the junk finish.  My reels finish started to oxidize and turn green in spots.  It has small pits all over it and honestly it looks like garbage.  I might sound like a hypocrite but I will be buying more because everything else is awesome.  Fugly but awesome

From: Tom: St. Joe, MI

Comments: Just pick up a left handed been waiting for it for so long now and I tell y'all.  It is freaken smooth like my baby's but.  the braking system so easy to use once you get use to it.  When you have to adjust it for quick response for the fish its easy not like others. It sits so low on the reel seat and its perfect on my average size hand.

From: Mang Vue: Green Bay, WI

Comments: seth knows wat he is talking about. these reels are terrible. i have 8 of them, and i would give them all away.

From: Bob: USA

Comments: worst reel ever.

From: Seth: Owensboro, KY

Comments: The KVD Tour reel is the first Quantum reel that I have ever used. It is a great reel, very smooth and long casting. The only issue I have with the reel is the dial cast control. It turns off with ease just by the boat ride or my palm touching it when fishing. I have to continue checking it before I make a cast with it. Other than that, it is a great reel!!!

From: Charles: Asheville, NC

Comments: Hands down the best reel I've ever used.  Tight, smooth and effortless to use.  The cast controls perform flawlessly without over-braking.

From: Ronnie: Asheville, NC

Comments:Best reel I've ever had, its so smooth. Paired with the 7'11(launcher) I can get cast a series 6 55 yrds easily. Worth the money!
