Quantum Merit Spinning Reel Review

Join us for a sneak peak of the new Quantum Merit spinning reel as The Fisherman’s Matt Broderick and Mike Caruso put this new saltwater reel to the test with Quantum’s Mike Rice in Stuart, FL while fishing for snook, jacks. It’s a fully sealed platform on a rigid and corrosion resistant graphite frame and rotor (aluminum side plate). The reel is actually fully sealed, yet more compact, and offer best in class drag performance and max drags. The Merit line-up ranges from 2500 – 8000 size reels, and at its low price point ($79.95 – $129.95), you’ll be hard pressed to find reels that perform as well and with as many features!  They call it “Sealoq” because it’s sealed (11 seals on 2500-5000, 13 seals on 6000/8000) and tested to IPX6 standards to prevent water from entering the drag system and gear box. And the CFX200 carbon fiber extreme drag system for impressive smoothness and power make the Merit a standout in this price point category for saltwater spinning reels. Keep any eye out for this reel coming in the fall of ’25 and ask for it at your local tackle shop.
