As far as BPS reels go, I think they are great values. I really like the Pro Qualifier reel the best in the BPS line-up. I have a Tourney Special reel that is the best casting reel I have ever had. It is my go to reel for throwing light bait, but, I can feel a tick in the gearing as I reel. I also have a Johnny Morris Gold, it is a nice reel, but not worth the price IMO. I gave $169 for mine, and it is only slightly better than my PQ's.

If I were in the reel market right now, BPS has the Quantam KVD signature reel on sale Black Friday for $49. I think that is a great value.
