Quick take
A size 60 spinning reel with a forged aluminum spool, lightweight composite body, and balanced rotor suited for freshwater and saltwater casting.
The Quantum Blue Runner is a size 60 spinning reel with a composite body, an aluminum spool and a 5.2:1 gear ratio that picks up about 38 inches of line per turn. Its front drag tops out at 18 pounds, and the handle switches between right- and left-hand retrieve. The roomy spool and corrosion-resistant finish suit anglers chasing catfish, stripers or inshore saltwater species.
