Bass Pro Shops® Pro Qualifier® Baitcast Reels

This is the direction fine baitcasters are trending. Today’s advanced angler wants a stronger reel with a more compact footprint, for easier handling and greater versatility with rods and techniques. Mission accomplished! Bass Pro Shops is proud to introduce the reel for the next generation of tourney anglers—one remarkable tool that can handle a wide range of tasks, and do them all extremely well. Intelligently compact. Lightweight yet powerful, our Pro Qualifier packs the performance of a standard-sized baitcaster into a compact Series 10 body. There is no wasted space, no extra material; from its one-piece machined-aluminum frame to its double-anodized, machined-aluminum drilled spool, the construction is uniformly sleek, elegant, and virtually seamless. Way fun to fish. The unique in-swept handle and drag star free up your crankin’ lanes and center the reel’s weight atop the rod blank, assuring clean, virtually wobble-free retrieves. You’ve never felt crispness like this before! And every feature supports the top-line approach. Smooth Ti line guide. Quality 7-bearing system with Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse. Our Dual Braking System with click-adjustable magnetic and 6-pin centrifugal cast control. A pin-release sideplate for quick brake adjustments on the fly. Soft Touch thumb bar. A handy built-in oil port… Yep—you’re gonna love this reel!

''It never ceases to amaze me…almost everyone who fishes in my boat comes away in awe of my Pro Qualifier baitcasters. They thought they were fishing with $300 reels!''
