Hey Micro what are the 2 red Revos are those the Cabelas Models on sale: if so how are they?

They are the Revo SC, sold exclusively by Cabelas.  Still $79.99 (click "add to cart", then "view cart" to see the -$50 discount.

As far as how they are, they are fantastic.  The easiest casting reels I've ever owned.  The SC is essentially the S model.  But the SC has the externally adjustable magnetic brake instead of the S's mechanical brake.

I have used the side by side with the black SX model.  The SC has 9 bearings, the SX 11.  There is no noticable difference in performance.  

I recommend them highly.

The Revo SC is also high speed 7:1. that's the reason I chose the SX over the SC.

Thanks Micro, I think that will be the ne non-Pflueger reel i will buy The external brake is a big plus at that price range, So if i click cart It changes the price I was wondering what evryone was talking about!!!!!!!

I inspected the rods yesterday before I bougth them. All seemed ok. This morning when I looked at them closely in the sunlight, the medium-heavy rod has a gouge in the blank just below the first eye. I took it back but they didn't have anymore medium heavies.

Bummer!

I ended up buying a Johnny Morris Elite MH 7' with Recoil guides.  It was already on sale $129 (down from $179) and they gave me another $20 on top of that for goodwill.

Heck, you cant beat that. I hear those JM's are sweet rods. I have handled one but never fished one. Let us know how it does and what you think about it.

Especially how you like those recoil guides!

As of 11:00 A.M. this morning, the Hampton VA store had 3 of the 7 ft Medium Baitcasters left.  I purchased one so there were 2 left as of noon.  Also had a couple of MHs in, I believe, 6'6".  Needed that 7' as all of my B/Cs are MHs.  The Pro Qualifier is a lighter action Medium than the "Woo Davies" Extreme Medium (hope that makes sense/lol).  The Pro Qual is a nice rod at a very reasonable sale price.

Also, the Pro Qualifier is a nicer rod then the Extreme. It's a 70 million modulus rod versus 60 million modulus. Also has nicer guides - Fuji Alconite versus Fuji Hardloy. The cork looks a little better, too.

The fishing manager told me that there would be a new shipment of Pro Qualifiers coming in on Wednesday (10/3/07). They would all be sold at $59.88, too.

If the medium Pro Qualifier wasn't what you wanted, or you want a medium-heavy, you'll have another chance.

Micro: you bring out a good point here This is an excellent time for bargins at BPS and CABELAS, Last year Cabelas put theior Prodigy BC Reel out for 49 bucks, because they were updating the reel for the next year, this may be why the Qualifiers are being sold off, it looks like the same maybe happening with the Cabela's Fish Eagle II rods, this is a great time of year to pick up some house brand deals!

Man you guys are killing me. Probably a good thing the kid is sick again or I'd be buying more stuff!

Am going to WI next week for a day or so ( if everything goes smooth ). I am staying next to a nice fishing store that I love ( bad move probably).

[fish-fighting-illini]

Nice Buy; Unfortunately the Harisburg store has the other rods. Im glad we called before we made he trip because its 68 miles each way! They have the other rods, and we stockpile now for a project we run each spring.

PS What are the top 2 red Revos are those the ones on sale that are exclusive to Cabelas I think they are the SC?

Muddy, how can you tell which are the old ones and which are the new ones. I'm going to call the 800 number and order them for delivery as there's no BPS in Northern California. What should I ask to make sure that it's the correct rods and not the older ones you speak of.

The Red Revos are the Cabelas version, the Revo SC , only made in high speed 7:1

Hey Broke,

 I was kind of involved with Muddy on the Extreme deal that he is / was using as an example. He posted then I think the exact part# that was on the rod that came as part of the combo. It had "Extreme" on it but I happened to glance at the book and the part# was nowhere close to the Extreme's part"s in the book"

Go to the website and get the part#. Without being there in person I'm not sure how you are going to tell what you are getting online. I guess you could ask via call or via e-mail somehow.

 Probably no big deal I'm sure you'd get a pretty decent rod either way. But seems to be a little shaky on BPS's part at times. If they advertise a "PQ" or an "Extreme" in Oct you'd expect this years model not almost 2 years ago's model.

 I guess despite earlier posts about receipts

maybe the moral of the story is " petentialy not all receipts are created equal"  !!!

I stumbled on this deal last Friday on my way out of town to go fishing. I was gonna buy a BPS Extreme...the sales guy pointed me to the Pro-Qualifier! Awesome deal for a fantastic rod. I picked up a 7'0 MH and matched it with a Quantum KV600CB for $99 (of course that went down to $79 this week!).

Anybody have the Quantum KVD series reels? What do you think? It seemed like a good reel for the price and it performed well over the weekend.

Welcome aboard.

If you bought that reel at BPS, you can go back and get a refund of the difference in what you paid and the sale price.  Technically, you could return the reel for a refund then buy it again on sale.  To save you the hassle, they usually just give you the money back.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip. I just called my local BPS and they still have a handful of Pro Qualifier Rods on sale for $59. He put a 6'6 M on hold for me to pick up tomorrow. I can't believe these are half price. It is by far the best rod I have ever fished with (and I've had a few in the $100-200 range)
