What's your all's thoughts on this combo?

It's a good set up. I have 8 pro qualifer reels on my boat. For the money they can hold their own against any reel on the market. Im not a big fan of BPS rods as I have broke several, but thats not to say they are junk. I use Pro Qualifer Tournament edition reels on 7' Veritas rods and I have had no problems at all. I also have several Quantum PT Energy reels mounted on Abu Garcia Villian rods and they are great also. They are about twice the price and to be honest they really aren't any better then the Pro Qualifiers/Veritas combos. As someone mentioned the Johnny Morris Combos are nice too. If it were me considering BPS it would be Johnny Morris, Pro Qualifier or Carbonlite. What is important is maintance and proper storage with this and quality combo will last many years.
