The Quantum Merit set pairs a composite graphite rod with stainless steel one-piece guides and an IPX6 waterproof reel featuring the CFX200 carbon fiber drag system. This robust combination is specifically designed for striped bass fishing.
Rod features and benefits • Composite graphite blank: combines sensitivity and power to detect bites while having the strength needed to fight large species.
• HD304 stainless steel one-piece guides: single-piece construction without inserts eliminates cracking risks and ensures smooth line flow over time.
Rod specifications
| Length | Pieces | Power | Line (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8' | 2 | Medium-heavy | 12-25 lb |
| 9' | 2 | Medium-heavy | 15-30 lb |
| 10' | 2 | Medium-heavy | 20-40 lb |
Reel features and benefits • Sealoq 6 waterproofing — IPX6 certification: protects internal components from water, sand, and splashes for durable use in tough conditions.
• CFX200 carbon fiber drag system: smooth progression and high braking power to control the runs of fighting fish.
• High-strength graphite body and rotor with aluminum side plate: optimal strength-to-weight ratio for long fishing sessions.
• 5-bearing system (4+1): smooth and consistent rotation with every retrieve.
Reel specifications
| Size | Bearings | Gear ratio | Max drag (lb) | Mono (yards/lb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5000 | 4+1 | 5.6:1 | 25 | 255/15 |
| 6000 | 4+1 | 5.6:1 | 30 | 315/20 |
| 8000 | 4+1 | 4.7:1 | 35 |
Fishing types and targeted species • Striped bass: the medium-heavy to heavy power of the 8', 9', and 10' rods combined with the IPX6 waterproof rating of the reel meets the demands of striped bass fishing in rivers and along shorelines.
• Pickerel and muskellunge: the robustness of the set and the braking power of the CFX200 system make it a suitable choice for large freshwater species.
