OcBassman63 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I can't decide between the Bass Pro Pro Qualifier and the Revo SX. I can get 4 Pro Qualifiers for the Price of 3 Revos using the 6 pay plan at Bass Pro. Any input is appreciated. Even recommendations on reels under 150.00 Thanx Tim Quote
John G Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 You said other recommendations so I would go to eBay and have a little patience and buy 3 or 4 new Curado's for under $130.00 apiece. 5 Quote
BobP Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I own a Revo SX which is 5-6 yrs old and like it very much. Solid reel, zero problems so far. I recently got a Daiwa Tatula, which retails for around $150 and really like its easy casting performance and very effective backlash control (magnetic). Honestly, brand loyalty aside (I'm mostly a Shimano guy) there are many good reels in the $100-150 range and I think you can pick based on the features you want and have confidence that the engineering and quality control is decent across the major brands. The PQ seems to have a loyal following. Don't own one because I've always been a little leery of the BPS "contract factory of the year" way of doing business. Maybe I'm just ignorant but that's the way I feel. Quote
illinifan4152 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 It all depends on if you want quantity or quality. I haven't used one but i have heard great things about the pro qualifier but that is if u can get it when they put it on sale for sub $80. As far as quality, there are many workhorse reels in that range, my vote would go to a curado, or lews. I think I would personally take a lews lfs over the revo sx or the pro qualifier. Great low profile reel for $100 Quote
ReidE Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Curado for 129 at sheltons.. I purchased multiple times and great service Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Curado I on eBay or anywhere else you can find it new for cheap. It bombs lures and is super reliable. I love it. 2 Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 The PQ on sale is arguably the best bang for the buck reel out there. The SX will be lighter by a little but feature wise I prefer the PQ. At the PQ retail rate of $129, a Curado or Tatula on sale would be my pick. The quality vs quantity argument doesn't hold water. The factory & tooling are the same the SX and PQ. 1 Quote
Arv Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I'd go for the PQ or maybe the Curado if you are looking for another reel. Like DVT said, the PQ is probably the best bang for your buck. I've had a couple in past years, and while I've upgraded to much more expensive reels, I would not be upset with using a PQ by any means. 1 Quote
BigFishRI Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 In my opinion...for the price.. you can't beat the Pflueger President. $60 Quote
JDkelly10 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Just picked up a Daiwa Tatula on the bay for 97$ shipped new in box Quote

Super User iceintheveins Posted June 5, 2015 Super User Posted June 5, 2015 The PQ is a fantastic, foolproof reel, and I have four of them. The Curado is better though, I have an E and an I and love both. Quote
OcBassman63 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 Thanx for all the input. I wound up at Bass Pro today and picked up 3 Pro Qualifiers. Just liked them the most. Quote

Even recommendations on reels under 150.00 Thanx Tim I'd rather have a Revo SX over a BPS Pro Qualifier. Pro Qs are great but they are showing their age. Just sticking to $100 give or take $30 I'd rater have a Curado I, Tatula, Carbon lite, or save a few bucks a clearance priced Nitro Tournament Z if if I could get my hands on the good one. Quote
masterbass Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 He already made his choice and bought the pq. OP good choice. The pq's will serve you well as they were a great reel for me as well. Quote
