BASS PRO SHOPS

[Guest MJPRICE]

Went to BPS last nite and saw the new Pro Qualifier spinning rods and reels. Are these any good? Do they hold up well? Any info would be appreciated.

You're likely not going to find a ton of people who will endorse 'house brand' reels from BPS, Cabelas, etc simply because getting maintenance done on them is very difficult.  They may be good reels for a while, but if/when problems arise you're likely looking at needing to buy a replacement.

You're best off just spending the money on whatever Daiwa or Shimano is available in that price range.

The ProQualifier rod is an very good rod, just a step below BPS ' top of the line JM rod. ProQualifier reels, I can 't say anything , I don 't purchase BPS brand reels.

i doubt your going to get an answer if they hold up since they have been out a month.  But they do cast very far.

I have one of the Pro Qualifer rods with a Garcia Revo SX on it.  The rod is very good for the money....it's no G-Loomis, but it's better than the BPS XPS and Bionic Blade series rods.  I like it and will probably get another one.  Don't know about the reels....sorry.
