Super User iceintheveins Posted April 4, 2010 Super User Posted April 4, 2010 I just ordered a pro qualifier BC reel from BPS. How will this reel peform with 50 pound power pro? I intend to match it with a 7' H action casting rod to use primarly as a frog rod. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted April 4, 2010 Super User Posted April 4, 2010 I'm sure it would do fine. Other than it being a BPS reel. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 4, 2010 Author Super User Posted April 4, 2010 Yeah I got the Pro Qualifier reel because it is on sale and it has a very high rating. My next reel will be a Curado, probably this fall when money isn't so tight. Quote

The dual braking is a nice option when the wind is howling. I think you made a good choice. 8-) Quote

ToledoEF Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I'm sure it would do fine. Other than it being a BPS reel. Its funny when I see people dog BPS reels, I have a bunch of PQ and so do a lot of friends of mine, not one of the reels has had problems and they are used more than 1 season. Quote
bwell Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 My Pro Qualifier has 65# Power Pro on it and it casts just great. I let my brother who NEVER uses baitcasters use it on one of the windiest days, and he was able to cast a weightless senko right into the wind. Quote
