im looking for a new baitcast reel to put on my 7'6 medhvy veritas. looking for any recomendations for a quality reel around 80-100 bucks. thanks

BPS pro qualifier, bass tackle depot has the new Quantum Kinetic on sale for 80 dollars which is a very good reel, look to see if the Citica E from Shimano is around, those are now discontinued but leftovers are in your price range.

BPS Pro Qualifier

Pro Qualifier is it, unless you are willing to shell out another $50 0n top of that $100. That Pro Qual is an amazing reel though, I love mine.

Citica 200e. See if your local Gander Mt (assuming you live close to one) still has some on clearance for $80. I picked one up a few weeks ago and I know they still have some left.

I have three BPS Pro Qualifier reels that between me and my wife get a lot of use. They have worked flawlessly since day one. At that price range they are a very good value in my opinion.

lews speed spool. awesome reels. im gettin a pq this weekend to see what all the fuss is about lol

basspro has the johnny morris carbon black originals on closeout for 89 right now. thats a pretty sweet deal

I would say if can get the Citica with the $30 off jumped on it if not and want the PQ get it, I love mine. If can and what to spend a little more get a Curado E. Amazing reel.

I got a PQ in 7.1:1 and a Curado 200E5 in 5.0:1.

Another for pro qualifier!

Citica 200E

I was at Dick's yesterday and they still had a few Citica 200E in stock for $79.99

basspro has the johnny morris carbon black originals on closeout for 89 right now. thats a pretty sweet deal

I got one of those at thier spring sale and you're right that is a one smooth reel.

I was thinking about getting a PQ because of all the comments about it I've been reading here, but I do love that carbon black...Hmmm

Another vote for the Pro Qualifier. I iust got one in the 7.1 ratio and I really like it. It reminds me of my Citica. They're even better when they're on sale for $80.

Yet another vote for the pro qualifier! I love my 6:4.1!

I have to say I love my pro qualifiers... don't seem to use my old green reels any more.

I have 4 Pro Qualifiers and love them.

I have to say Pro Qualifier also... Great all around reel for the price.

+1 for Lew's

thanks for all the help guys!

I have 2 PQ's and 2 CB's....nuff said!

i don't know if they are still on sale but the pt quantum's were at bps for around 129 and that is a sweet reel have one and I've also owned a pro qualifier but took it back and got the pt and was more impressed but there is a difference in price.

Been fishing my pro qualifier for three years now and it still works flawlessly.

Low end of your budget the Abu garcia pro max is a great reel and i love it at 80$. I would go with the PQ though.

Bass pro shops pro qualifiers can't be beat in that price range. I have them in all the gear ratios and have never had any problems.
