Idiom Question

Is it an idiom to say "reluctant to..." ? Is it wrong to say "reluctant about"? When would you use reluctant to vs reluctant about?

That's a very good question. We actually list this one in our Sentence Correction guide's Idiom List, Chapter 9. (It appeared in an OG problem.)
"Reluctant to" is the proper idiom. "Reluctant about" is incorrect.
