I bought one today and took it out for a few hours this afternoon. I normally fish Lew's Speed Spools. I have three of them. The Pro Qualifier is a bit heavier than my Lew's but, not to the point that it makes a big difference. The PQ casts as well as the SS. It's very easy to adjust and get dialed in. First impression from tonight is, the PQ is a quality reel, well built and on par with the Lew's.
I put the PQ on my 7' M Mojo Bass Rod.
