Review: Quantum escalade hd 40

^ What gjb1969 said, not really made for the salt and made with lots of plastic crap.
Some reviews I found

1.No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments about Quantum Escalade Spinning Reel:
When I bought the first one, the plastic piece at the back of the frame was broken [...]. When I got reel replaced, the same piece of plastic broke off completely the first day I used it. It still works but not well - the bail doesn't close completely when you flip it by hand and doesn't close at all when you start reeling. This is the first product review I've ever written but was incredibly disappointed in this reel. [$] wasted

Comments about Quantum Escalade Spinning Reel:
please do not consider... bought both spinning and baitcaster and after 6 months.... replacing both... very poor quality




imo its good for a freshwater reel but if you get it wet it's a throw-away. Good luck

^^^ I agree if you get water or sand near it it's a goner. Did the guy where you bought it say you could use it in salt water? If so I would take it back and exchange for something else.
