Featuring a wide lineup of Quantums Performance Tuned features the Accurist Inshore provides a rugged construction smooth performance and best-in-c...lass cast control.

Great Reel

This reel packs a lot of bang for the buck. I purchased this reel for Fall flounder and speckled trout. It handled them with ease. The true test came when I hooked a bull red from the beach. This reel handled the fight like a champ. You can't go wrong with this reel.

I saw this on John Skinner's youtube channel and was just getting into bottom fishing at the time. 2 years later and it's still a durable workhouse -I don't leave home without it.

2 year review Accurist S3 Inshore High Speed retrieve

Gary

This is one of the most versatile reels that I have ever owned. The ability to select the Flipping Mode for jigging is the main reason I purchased this reel. We have 3 of this model on the boat. This particular reel has been used on over 100 trips over the last 2 years. I fish the area of Long Island Sound, Block Island and Montauk using this reel for Porgies, Fluke, Sea Bass,… read more Tautog, Blues and Stripers. The 25 lbs of drag has brought many 7-10 lb Fluke, Stripers, Tautog and Blues over the rails. The reel casts like a dream using Fins Windtamer 15# braid. However, while this reel is promoted as a saltwater reel, it does fall short. I have reels that are 10-20 years old that don't exhibit as much corrosion. See the cons below. That being said, I'm willing to replace parts as needed just because this is such a great reel!
If quantum were to use proper material and coatings on the offending parts, they would have a truly world class product.

I haven't fished this reel much. But I have fished it a couple time in the Chesapeake bay. Jigging a 1 ounce bucktail for rockfish. It fishes nice especially for jigging. Was catching 18-25 inch rockfish. No weak points in the reel.

Awesome little saltwater caster

William

This reel casts a mile! Just bought one for casting lures and metals for bluefish, albies, and small mahi, and man does this thing have some casting distance and strength. Put it on a Tsunami trophy series TSTBC-601XH 50-100lb and it is so light i can balance the entire setup with one finger. spooled it with 40lb hi vis yellow Powerpro superslick and the line flies off the reel… read more and has plenty of cranking power for big fish. Great buy for the price

Sizing varies slightly between manufacturers, but this would not be considered a 300 in any brand. Its more of a 150 size.

This is my first baitcasting reel.  Have always used spinning gear.  What is a good rod to pair with the Quantum Accurist S3PT for fluke, stripers, blackfish in NJ.  Thank you.

The St. Croix Tidemaster Casting 7'MH will be great for fluke, striper, and blackfish.
