Description
7-time B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year and 4-time Bassmaster Classic Champion Kevin VanDam's exclusive line of Performance Tuned baitcast reels compliment his custom built signature rods. The Tour KVD baitcast series are the exact same reels that KVD has won the last two Bassmaster Classic Championships with, and are available in 3 unique gear ratios tailor-made to fit his aggressive style of power fishing: 7.3:1, 6.6:1 and 5.3:1.
"Burner" 7.0:1 Gears: Available in every PT baitcast series, our ultra-high-speed "Burner" gear system allows you to rip your bait back to the boat faster so you can cover more water, targeting the hot spots more effectively in a shorter period of time. | |
Pour On The Sauce: Quantum Hot sauce contains a special, proprietary blend of synthetic and organic additives to provide the ultimate balance in performance, protection, durability, and smoothness in both grease and oil for all fishing equipment. | |
Titanium Finish: For maximum scratch protection, our advanced vacuum deposition coating bonds titanium molecules to the base metal of our Tour KVD reels, as well as our Tour Edition PT baitcast and spinning reels and Energy PTi spinning reels. | |
Customized Bearings: Most reels use stock bearings made for other applications. Not ours. We designed our own high-grade stainless bearings to exact specs to minimize vibration and friction. Then we fit them in a special polymer cage for added sensitivity and corrosion protection. | |
Ceramics Take The Heat: PT drag systems feature ceramic washers to dissipate heat during long runs. We also use ceramics to reduce wear in our baitcast levelwind systems. | |
Unyielding Metal Construction: All PT reels begin with single-piece aluminum frames, each machined with computer-guided precision, to hold all critical components in perfect alignment. We use special high-strength grades of aluminum to yield lightweight reels that will not flex even during heavy cranking. | |
ACS3 Cast Control: Our patented ACS3 cast control lets you unleash the longest casts, in the worst wind, and with the lightest baits, without regard to backlash. The patented, mechanical system was designed to be compact yet durable enough to stand the rigors of all-day tournament fishing. . .no delicate electronics to worry about here. |
