Tested: Quantum Zanderkant fishing rod

Fishing rod Quantum Zanderkant 2,65 m 15-90 g

The name Zanderkant suggests that the rod is designed exclusively for rubber fish fishing for zander. Not even close!

The rod's parabolic action and stiff tip make it fast, powerful and accurate. This rod enables perfect bait guidance, even over long distances, and allows you to set uncompromising hooks.

These properties also make the rod predestined for fishing with hardbaits and swimbaits. A length of 2,65 meters and a casting weight of 15-90 grams, it is well balanced. The simple gray design, the SIC guides, the screw reel seat integrated in the handle and the high-quality cork speak for the quality of the Quantum rod. Anyone who picks up the Zanderkant for the first time will feel a stiffness that is not for everyone at first glance, but later makes all known spinning rods appear too soft.

For a number of years we have been exclusively targeting pike with this rod, primarily with medium-sized to large wobblers, jerks and swimbaits. Large wobblers, which can be provided with a braided line of approx. 0,30 mm due to line breakage during casting, in order to reach wide spots as quickly as an arrow, are exemplary feasible. Pikes well over a meter can be tamed without any problems from the fight to the landing. So not only zander, but above all pike with swimming baits or hardbaits with the zander edge are popular.

The long handle lies perfectly in the crook of the arm, making it easier to hold the rod so that we can pull our bait permanently and still have a stable hold. An advantage is the rod's stiffness, the bait guide is so enormous and transmits every bait feeling in the rod blank. It is so penetrating, mainly when wobblers, that enthusiasm arises and we can no longer imagine life without it.
