I used the pro qualifiers for about 5 years..they are good reels just IMO needed a lot of cleaning and oiling and the cast distance declined rapidly. I have switched to the Lews SS1H and love then....they are smaller profile than the BPS PQ and cast a mile! I can find the Lews for around $80 and they just ran a rebate for $20 a reel. I also lost the side to one of my Lews and contacted Lews customer service to see about buying one since it was my fault and they sent me a new cover at no cost.
