Poolshark Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 i have a 100 gift card to bass pro and was set on buying a new Curado 71 hg to add to my Curado collection. Upon getting there I noticed a heaping pile of pro qualifiers on sale for 50 bucks each. On this forum I've read nice things about them and got to thinking....is the pq a good enough reel to skip over the Curado? Should I spend a hundred bucks and use the gift card to buy the Curado 71? Or should I save the 100 dollars and walk out with 2 pro qualifiers? I'm hung on the choice. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 6, 2017 Global Moderator Posted March 6, 2017 I'd spend the extra on a Curado, love my 70XG. 1 Quote
TH-Outdoors Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Curado all day, I feel like the PQ isn't comparable at all. And considering you already have a fleet of higher end reels, you may be disappointed with it, however they are decent reels still. 1 Quote
SmallmouthBoss Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I'm not going to compare a PQ to a curado, but I picked up 3 PQ and at $50 it's a steal. I love these reels. My brother has used his PQ for river fishing salmon and caught tons of King, Pink, silver, and chums on it over the years and it's still going strong. 1 Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted March 6, 2017 Super User Posted March 6, 2017 The PQ is a good reel and the Curado is a better reel. So now you have to decide if you want good or better, or 1 reel verse 2 reels. If money isn't an issue then but the best you can afford. 1 Quote
Poolshark Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 I was 99% sure I was going for another Curado. Deep down I was hoping I'd get talked out of it. Lol thanks for for the replies 1 Quote
