Actual Customer Feedback:
"Purchased this reel 9 months ago. Bearings rattle when I cast. Reel has a cheap plastic feel. I do like the overall ergonomics of the reel. I sent it back to Quantum last week for warranty review. I am curious to find out how well they service their customers."

"I am new to baitcasters and had tried a few of my dad's reels. I tried a couple of others and they felt cheap and poorly made. This KVD reel feels good in the hand with its contours and chrome finish."
