Quantum Accurist HPTA 100 low profile batcasting reel how to take apart and service 

Thanks Dennis, I always enjoy seeing the service of these types of reels.While these bait casters would be used this side of the pond,they would be no where near as popular as in the States. It is always interesting to see the difference between techniques and tackle in different areas. Please keep them coming and stay safe. 🎣

Great job Dennis! I’m happy to have this video to guide me on future service. It’s just too complex a reel for me to go just off the schematic. Thanks again! - Brian

Sure wish I’d seen this 2 days ago before taking mine apart…doh! Believe it or not, I found one of these floating vertically on a nice jigging rod. It was in Buzzards Bay…salt water! The entire combo looked brand new. Rod still had plastic on the butt. Apparently the rod had enough buoyancy to keep the butt a few inches out of water. So I’m drifting along in the middle of the bay jigging for sea bass, when this rig bobs right up next to the boat. Crazy but true. Soaked reel in fresh water overnight, then let dry for few days. Took it apart and couldn’t believe how little salt residue was in it. Small amount under tension cap and a bit on the handle shaft/threads. The mag plate was clean as a whistle. Can’t wait to use this “2nd Chance Tackle” 👍

Other than the Magnetic braking this Accurist mimics the Code Red almost exactly lol thank you for the Video my Friend, I purchased a used Quantum Code Red and it’s apart on my Bench and there was an extra tiny thin washer lol now I know where it goes. Truly thank you for taking the time and doing the Video. Stay safe my Friend Semper Fidelis

Hey Dennis. I have a pretty old model of this reel. This video was very helpful in taking it apart and getting it back together, it’s still not 100% but it’s better. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks Dennis great job as usual

Great video I’m going to try and clean the same reel. 👍

Nice job sharing this Dennis as usual.

I don’t exactly understand mag-brakes? on a reel. Could you explain that sometime? I did two reels today - a very nice Olympic 2800 saltwater reel and a Penn 720 Greenie. The Penn is okay but nothing great but that Olympic 2800 is awesome. Someone had put a ceramic sealed bearing in it. I totally didn’t expect that. It is a fantastic reel for surf fishing and as good as almost any vintage reel I have. It came with the box and papers and is one of the best bargains I’ve ever gotten. This Quantum looks like a nice reel. I’ve never had much luck with Quantum reels after having had a bad experience with a Cabo once. Great video again Dennis! This one seemed pretty complicated.

Thanks for taking the time to put out this video Dennis don't know if i could work on this one

Thank you for doing this video, you certainly make it look easy. I would like to ask a question about the larger washer you lightly greased, is that the Carbontex washer(s) that acts as the drag? I am confused when you lightly grease that washer wouldn't that would effect the drag of the reel, I am not familiar with the Carbontex drag system so I was hoping you could clarify that for me. Thank you sir for your time.

Hey Dennis hope your day is going well

Any idea where to get parts for this reel? Have a cracked drive gear. Can’t find parts anywhere on line. Quantum doesn’t sell parts on line anymore.

How often do you want to do this maintenance on your reels

Dennis, do you have any experience fishing with those Quantum Accurist S3 spinning reels? Came out around 2019/2020.

Needs more ball bearings. I use a non magnetic thumb device of my own invention to slow down the spool.

How do you remove the spool?

Crap. I think I greased the anti-reverse clutch. Am I screwed?
