Customer Reviews: They're front drag - not rear drag as picturedJune 10, 2010 RagingBuddhist (Not an Actual Buddhist)(Baltimore, The Draconian State of Maryland) Being left-handed, I've always liked these reels. Maybe it's how I hold the rod, but it's always felt slightly awkward trying to reach the line on reels without the little pin to hold it back. The pin also helps people, especially children, who are just learning how to cast.
The gear ratio might be a little low for people who need a super fast retrieve, but, as I mostly use diving crankbaits, it's not an issue for me.
I recommend opening these up a couple of times a year for cleaning/lubrication as they do tend to get noisy if you don't.
I gave Quantum the benefit of the doubt in my rating. Because of the need for constant lubrication and the fact that they're not as durable as, say, the Shimano reels I have, I would rate them 3 1/2 stars if I could. But that pin tips it up to a 4.
I bought a couple of these because they had the rear drag model pictured. Quantum stopped making them years ago, and I didn't really think I'd get 'em. The front drags are still nice. I just thought it'd be nice to let people know in case they were really looking for a rear drag reel.
The 20 is nice, the 10 is horrible.August 9, 2009 W. E Gottwalles(Columbus Indiana) Always liked the Snapshot, Quick Fire, etc. lever bail opener. Purchased an LS20 and used it with good results, and figured to match an LS10 with a 5.5 medium action for grubs without a sinker. Figured lighter and smaller would be better for an old man. The 20 did seem to be a little front heavy but could be my short, chubby fingers. The 10 was a big disappointment. No similarity to the quality of the 20. Bail mechanism kept grabbing the line and wrapping it around the bottom of the spool and the bail wire got progressively closer to the mechanism and would not allow the line to travel to the pick up. Thought it might be just me, so I found an old Shimano 10 series and put the same line on the same rod and it performed like it should. The seller,[...], was fabulous about it and took it back.
