I have a 6'10" extreme with a quantum energy pt on it and I love it, caught a 4 1/2 lb bass on it the other day and it handled it extremely well. I also have a pro qualifier on a 7' carbon lite and love it as well. You really can't go wrong with either rod. Just see how both of them feel to you when you go to the store and pick the one you like better. You won't be dissapointed.
