Q&A
Great news! We put our popular Bass Pro Shops® Pro Qualifier® Baitcast Reel on a bit of a diet, and it has responded extremely well. The PQ 2 is our lightest and slimmest version ever, so it balances perfectly on a premium bass rod and is a joy to palm, yet all aspects of its performance—the features serious bassers love most about this reel—remain intact. As always, we build the Pro Qualifier to fit the way tournament anglers fish. From its 1-piece machined-aluminum frame and double-anodized, machined-aluminum drilled spool, to its Recurve handle and drag star, the design is sleek, light and functional. And every feature is geared for performance, including the quality 7-bearing system with Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse; our Dual Braking System™, with click-adjustable magnetic and 6-pin centrifugal cast control systems working in concert; the hard titanium-coated line guide. You'll like the pin-release side plate for quick brake adjustments on the fly, the satisfying feel of the Soft Touch thumb bar, the built-in lube port for those pre-tourney touch-ups. When you're ready to reload your best bass rods, odds are that the lighter, more compact Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier 2 will offer the best performance value available. By far.

It was an OK reel.I bought this reel 5 months ago, and during that time it preformed phenomenally, but with wear the reel started to malfunction (It would let line out while I would be reeling which would cause loops and lead to extreme backlashes) before this malfunction it was a great tournament grade reel.

Not the same reelI have used the pro qualifier 1 reel for years now. I love the quality for the price. I picked up 2 of the new pro qualifier reel and they're just not the same. Disappointed

Not the best but very good for the price.Had it about 6 months, I clean every reel at least once a month or more depending on how many times I fish, but one time minimum. Clean the pond scum off and take every piece apart, clean it, use very little grease or oil, (Hot Sauce) and most reels last much longer. It’s smooth and comfortable in my hand. Have it paired up with a 7’ medium Duckett. the other is on a 7’6” MH BooCoo.

Not very durable, think twiceI bought this in the 5:1 ratio for deep cranking. I had been using some cheap reels and this felt a little sturdier. I know that deep cranking is stressful on reels but half way through the summer the feeling of grinding started. I planned to buy a Revo S last year but this had a pretty good sale price at the time of about $60. had an OK feel to it but for a reel I use every time I go fishing I will be buying a revo this year. But if it goes on sale again I would consider renting another for 1-2 years for 60 bucks for an application that's I rely on less

Bad internal partsI have two of these Pro Qualifier reels and the worm gear and line guide pawl wore out in no time at all on one of them. Can't find parts to repair.

Not badI’ve had this reel for a year now. I like everything about it but it’s casting distance. It does not cast as far as any of my other reels.
Could they make one in a 4.7:1 gear ratio. I bought a pro qualifier 4.7:1 PQX10SSD two year ago and really like it for my deep cranking rod. Trying to find one for another deep crankin set up for my son.

Hi, thank you for your excellent suggestion regarding offering the Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier 2 Baitcast Reel being offered in a 4.7:1 gear ratio. We will pass your suggestion over to our Merchandising Department. At this time, we do not offer a 4.7:1 gear ratio reel online.
Thank you

is this ideal for frog fishing ? if not which rod and reel would be best for frog fishing
Asked by: Kongo Bongo
Is this for salt water?
Asked by: Stu G
Thank you for your question Stu!
This particular reel isn't designed for saltwater, but with the right precautions you can still use it that way. You'd just want to be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water each time you're done fishing; this will extend the life of the reel itself. That will not prevent it from eventually corroding, though, due to the nature of salt air.
I hope this information helps!
