Quick take
A size 25 lightweight spinning reel with carbon fiber body, 11 bearings and 16 lb max drag for panfish to walleye.
The Quantum Throttle size 25 is a lightweight spinning reel with a carbon fiber body and rotor, 11 bearings and a 6.2:1 gear ratio that picks up about 30 inches of line per turn. Its carbon fiber drag tops out at 16 pounds, and the spool holds 160 yards of 20-pound braid. The handle swaps between right and left, which suits panfish, trout, walleye and bass outings.
Best for
- Light to medium freshwater species like panfish and trout
- Upgrading from basic reels with smoother performance
- Right or left-hand retrieve options
Skip if
- You fish saltwater regularly; freshwater model only
- You need a very high or very low gear ratio
Strengths

- 11 bearings deliver smooth casts and retrieves
- Ambidextrous design lets you swap retrieve hands
Trade-offs
- 16 lb drag suitable for light to medium fish only
