How To Repair The Anti-Reverse on a Quantum Optix Spinning Reel

[@herbertlegg7083]

My dad bought me a series 80 before he passed. I have used it for years until that wire broke. Zebco sent me two of the pieces at no cost, and after watching this video, my reel is back in action. I can’t thank both you and zebco enough 👍

Great video. Great quality too see what parts what. Thanks 🙏

[@jimmulligan7494]

Appreciate the video. Exactly the issue w a réel my 12 yo is using.

[@deanv5470]

Sir you are the man you are absolutely correct I took it apart and watch the video as I did it can't tell you how appreciated I am now I don't have to go to eBay and try to kick some ass LOL this one's going on my 11 ft same day I received it I found your Channel cooler than the other side of the pillow stay safe

Another good job Josh

Thanks, brother

I use those reels for cat fishing as well I have not had that problem yet but it’s nice to know how to fix it if I do, awesome video 👍

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Aside from a weak anti reverse, these are solid reels. I've never had to fix the anti reverse spring more than once.

My sons quantum has this issue. But he " fights" snags by jerking HARD on the rod. If you dont do that the reel lasts much much longer. Good rundown. Thanks!

[@rtcoleman3626]

Thank you for the video it helps 100%

[@Papaws-Hobbies]

Me gustaría saber si tiene algún vídeo del mantenimiento a un Quantum optix 40 y como lo puedo ver

[@JavierGonzalez-kl4fr]

Gracias está bueno tu tutorial me sirvió

[@deanv5470]

Hey how's it going I just subscribed to your Channel you sound like you know what you're doing and that's cool I have the same real I just got off eBay optic 60 the handle turns freely both ways anti-reverse is not engaging so do I need to do the same thing that you're showing in the video or do you think there's parts missing thanks man I'll be checking out your Channel

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Thank you. My money would be on you having the same problem I was. It costs nothing to do what I showed in this video. Hopefully it will get you back up and running. Thanks for watching!

[@davidcarder7288]

Just got to Fl with my gear and realized my anti-reverse doesn’t work! Greased and lubed my real last week and must’ve lost the spring! Thanks for showing me I need to buy a reel! LOL

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Hate to hear this, but good luck on your Florida trip.

I have an Optix 20 spinning reel. I have took it apart but can't figure out why the anti reverse is'nt working. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Without seeing the schematic of that reel I'm at a loss. I haven't messed with the size 20 optix. If it has an anti reverse one way clutch that the handle goes through, those can act screwy when dirty.

[@thomasalm1241]

Thanks!

[@TheWeekendAngler]

I'm happy this video helped you out. Thank you so much for the super thanks.

[@turboboy0]

so far i have not had any issues. ive had my optix 60 for years spooled with 30lb mono but now i just respooled it with 80lb braid and am going to put it on a lewes 7' 2" med/hvy carbonfire speed stick rod that im going to order from dicks sporting good tomorrow. i cant wait to use the new setup for catfishing.

[@JTLrandom]

I have a quantum ignition 30 reel but the drag knob is broken and its almost impossible to find it

[@ashadali5056]

What the best size braid to use

[@TheWeekendAngler]

My go to braid is 50lb kastking superpower.

[@Shadi-ds7wy]

One question! Do i have to use reel oil or can i use other types of oil?

[@TheWeekendAngler]

@@Shadi-ds7wy any lightweight machine oil should work.

[@andy5530]

Is this the same fix for the okuma Inc 6000?

[@TheWeekendAngler]

I can't say for sure. I've not had any experience with that reel. However if the anti reverse system is similar, it would probably work.

[@MC-hs4mf]

Mine doesn’t have anti reverse

[@lyonsfishingadventures4352]

Didn't work for me😔
