BPS reels are THE BOMB.......

[bigwormy]

I love bps rods and reels. My reels are bps or lew's...and I have a lot of reels.lol

[dragmerc]

does it say where they are made? i heard they were made in taiwan or korea in the same factory as lews and abu. i don't know for sure but i'm not giving my money to nascar. bps dumps on it's suppliers. lews or abu for me.

I love my extreme and am getting ready to buy 2 Johnny Morris carbonlights. Haven't had one break on me yet. Knock on wood lol

[kyriverblues]

I am not much on the BPS reels but I do use the cat Maxx rods and they are some of the best catfish and striper rods I have found. My dad had a couple BPS reels and they will stand behind them when they go bad. He even had a couple BPS bass rods that the tips broke and they gave him new ones when he took them back. BPS will take care of there product if you have an issue.

i wouldnt say the level wind was defective. id say you wore it out from use. lol. i have before

[Drew1233]

Are the older gold carbonlights any good reels? The older ones that came out before the Johnny Morris series

[bigwormy]

I have the last model carbonlite before they made them johnny Morris. I remember when the new ones came out, I heard horror stories that they had messed them up. I'm sure they now have the kinks in them fixed though. In my opinion, pro qualifier is hard to beat.

Don't know if I want to go pro qualifier or abu revo s

I just bought the Prolite baitcaster, $59, 10 bearings, dual brake system, and really like the reel. Bass Pro salesman said the reel is made by Daiwa and similar to their $150 reel. Only difference is the drag washers and better bearings. Do a google search, pretty good feedback on this reel. Cant beat it with this price, special edition reel.

I think the Pro Qualifiers are the best reel on the market under 100 bucks. I have about 10 of them with the oldest being 8 years old. I have yet to have had a problem out of one. I am not a huge fan of their rods, having broke several over the years, but the reels are well worth the money in my opinion.

I have the abu revo s. It's hard to beat it that's for sure but I'm big on all abu products so I may be a but biased

After bass & striper fishing hard for years. The first one lasted 8 years. I've have had a bunch of extreme rods & reels & literally wore them out. Since Shimano is stopping the lifetime warranty I'll more than likely be going back to bps. When I do it will be pro qualifiers. I sure can't complain about them whatsoever.
