The final tally, after three days of drop shotting on Erie's hard-bottom humps: 15 smallies totalling 65 lbs. 7 oz. All taken by Edwin Evers while using the Pro Qualifier Combo. This outstanding system includes the Bass Pro Shops® Pro Qualifier® Spinning Reel plus the Pro Qualifier® Rod of your choice. Bass Pro Shops® Pro Qualifier® Spinning Reels
All year, the phones have been ringing. Often, it's another pro angler asking, "Can I get some of those Pro Qualifiers?'' And since Bass Pro Shops pro staffer Edwin Evers stuck 65+ lbs. of football-size smallmouths in just three days to win the Elite (and a cool hundred grand), why, it's been just crazy. Obviously, we've got something good going with the Pro Qualifier Spinning Reel! Our revolutionary Mag Spool Technology™, really took performance over the top. With the larger-diameter spool, we didn't have to trade crankin' power to get a faster retrieve. Because the line doesn't coil do tightly, folks also saw big gains in casting distance, plus reduced line twist and a smoother drag. We also incorporated an ultra-compact body design for extra comfort and precision; the quality 8-bearing system features double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings and PowerLock™ instant anti-reverse. Meanwhile, all the goodies are there: anodized aluminum body/side-covers, forged-aluminum spool, stainless steel bail wire, ti-coated line roller, stainless steel mainshaft, machined-aluminum handle, and a soft-touch knob. Bass Pro Shops® Pro Qualifier® Spinning Rods
There's a new breed of competitive angler out there. Gunslingers like Edwin Evers are using their rods in ways unforeseen just a decade ago. Drop shot rigs, shaky heads--these and other techniques are leading the way to bass fishing's future, and Pro Qualifier stands at the foremost of the technology revolution! Innovations abound in this series, although we still build them on our ultra-sensitive, 70 million modulus Type II Powerwall blanks and fit them with high-end Fuji® Alconite® guidesets and Full Contact exposed-blank reel seats. The handles have been re-sculpted to give you a stronger, more efficient "fighting butt" design, and we eliminated the foregrips for lighter weight and quicker handling. Rear-locking reel seats. Multi-purpose hook keeper. Pro Qualifier--the rod for the great days ahead! ''I really did not want to come to the weigh in--I was having too much fun catching fish. All of us, we were doing about the same thing, but with Pro Qualifier I obviously had the advantage!''
