Quantum CaboPT Baitcasting Reel?

[HuskerTornado]

Has anyone seen these? Although they are marketed as saltwater reels, they look like they could work perfectly with muskie/pike angling.

I'm looking to buy a rod and reel for some casting duties, just wondering what you guys thought about this reel.

I would post a link to the HSOforum with the reel on it, but I'm not sure if that violates the board rules.

And honestly, how much line capacity is critical in casting for muskie (I may also do some trolling), more specifically fishing Leech?

Thanks.

The reel would work fine. I guess if it were me I would go a Shimano Calcutta 400 for that much money. Either way you should be fine.

I agree with Dano on this one, the Calcutta is a great reel for muskie fishing. I'd go buy the one that fits your needs the best.

I was definintely looking at the Calcutta's as well. I'm a Shimano first guy, but Quantum has been catching my eye as of late (I bought the new Energy PTi Spinning reel last season and it was awesome for walleye).
