Well honestly I really like my Pro Qualifiers. I have fished them for some time now. However, for the money, I have started buying H2O XPRESS Mettle baitcasters from Academy. Several times a year they will sell them for $29.99 and normally they are only $49.99 http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_133325_-1__?N=274871093. I got a couple for Christmas here I guess two years ago and I will not buy another PQ.. sorry Bass Pro. I now buy the sale limit on the H2O reels when they sell them for $29. They don't have the magnetic braking but then again, I have never really used the ones on my PQ. Don't get me wrong... I love my Pro Qualifier but I JUST CANNOT JUSTIFY THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE. To me personally, the PQ is not any better than the H20. I spend the additional money on my rods which are JOHN MILES CUSTOM RODS http://www.jmilescustomrods.com/ which I have found to be the best! Be well guys and hope your lines stay tight! G
