Super User Goose52 Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 For those interested in the PQ reel, they're on sale for $69.94 in the BPS Christmas catalog - this price is good until November 13. A great deal ... Quote
HairyBass Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I don't have the Christmas catalog so I checked the website and it's still $99. Is there some kind of code in the catalog to use during checkout to bring it down to $69? I might have to swing by BPS tomorrow at lunch:) Thanks, Dennis Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 At that price, I see another one or two in my near future. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Super User Posted October 13, 2010 Here's a scan of the catalog page. You'll have to phone in an order to get this price (or get the store to honor the catalog price). The catalog "key code" is 10 022 AAAR. Order phone number is 1-800-227-7776. The PQ rod/reel combos are also at a good price (see the scan). Extreme rods are marked down to $59. Those are about the only deals in the Christmas catalog that got my attention. Quote
JDK. Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 wow what a steal at 100 bucks this is the best reel out there for the money at 69 it is an absolute steal Quote

Captain Obvious Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I just bought two more and I don't even have rods for them....Yet ll Man you can't beat this deal a top reel for 69 bucks Quote
WanderLust Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 hmm.... Just bought a Winch but I can always use another reel. Thanks for the tip! Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Super User Posted October 13, 2010 I am so pumped! This couldn't have came at a better time. I am looking to get the 4.7:1 for my new deep crank rod. I have PQs in 5.2, 6.4, and 7.1 ratios. I put the 5.2 on my deep-cranking rod and threw some DD22s with it and was thinking that I might go down to a 4.7 on that rod and put the 5.2 on a spinnerbait rod. Hmmmm - at $69, I guess I should collect the whole set and get a 4.7 myself! ;D Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 That is a great price on a fine reel. Quote
GTrombly Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 the combo is only $10 more than the extreme combo, how do you think these rods are compared to vendettas or a veritas? Quote
Captain Obvious Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 how do you think these rods are compared to vendettas or a veritas? The PQ rods is superior to both those rods. I put it just under an St.Croix Avid and I'm only doing that because if I said it was on par with the Avid this thread would be hijacked in 2 minutes. Great rod Quote
Captain Obvious Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 How do these compare to Citicas? This is a tough one, I will say they are at least just as good as them and I personally think they are better. About par with a Revo They have more choices in gear ratio, might be a little heaver. But they can take a beating and if you treat them right they won't fail you. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 PQs and Carbonlites are straight up work horses. Perform great for the money, and at that price are a steal!!! I wish the sale price was longer though atleast to Black friday. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 About on par with the Citica and base Revo. Solid reels. I've beat mine to death. I fish just about every day. Other than doing some regular maintenance, I haven't had a problem with a single one. I've used them in freshwater and in saltwater and haven't had a complaint. Although I don't use the magnetic brakes on them all that much anymore, it is nice to have on those windy days. Normally it's just the centrifugal brakes and I'm good. Quote
oteymc Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 So you could get this reel and an extreme rod for $130? That's only $30 more than the rod is normally. The last thing I need is another combo...but that is hard to pass up. The good thing about the pq's is they go on sale fairly often. Quote

helms83 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I AM SO MAD! I just bought one last weds for $99, I kid you not! Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Super User Posted October 14, 2010 I AM SO MAD! I just bought one last weds for $99, I kid you not! I can sorta relate. I have 5 PQs, with the 6th in-bound, but only paid full price for one of them - I just couldn't wait for the sale. A few weeks after getting the one at full price - they were on sale.... I wish everyone still thought these reels were junk 'cause I got two of my PQs off of eBay - one for $30, the other for $40 - both in FINE shape! Can't get those prices on eBay anymore! Quote
HairyBass Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I AM SO MAD! I just bought one last weds for $99, I kid you not! just go back with your receipt and they'll adjust it for you. Quote

Yeah, BPS will probably give you some store credit to buy some new lures for the bait-monkey... : Quote
HairyBass Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 Stopped by BPS this afternoon and picked one up:) Quote
