Bass newb Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I'd been impressed by personal inspection of a pflueger President reel, and after this thread I decided to buy a spinning rod and reel combo from walmart for $80 two days ago. I'm very happy with it. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted September 26, 2015 Super User Posted September 26, 2015 If i was buyin and needed a spinning reel arsenal trions get my vote i have a few and i have a few other brands the same price and more when it comes to graphite framed reel trions IMO are the best reels on the planet ...now if i could just find some penn feirce reels in size 1000 for 50$ IMO thats the best bang for the buck in a aluminum framed reels BTW the trions work perfect with saltwater also 5 yrs with reg matianace should last me 20 plus 1 Quote
Vegas_fisherman Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I love pfluegr spinning reels, there the only ones I use. I've had presidents (tiny trout models and there biggest model), trions (still use one on my drop shot rod), supreme MG, regular supreme. They are all great. I plan on trying out the arbor model next, and I'm gonna get a supreme XT when the funds are available. Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 Have presidents, supremes and 1 supreme xt. The entire line is incredible for the money. The supreme is s very nice step up from the president. The XT is incredible for the price. I really want a patriarch but just haven't pulled the trigger yet. X2, except I have 1 Supreme & 2 Supreme XT's Quote
DaleGribble Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Let me just say after owning and using a patriarch and a supreme mgx, I really prefer my supreme. The patriarch is just as smooth its just incredibly light weight. The supreme line is also very light but for $100 difference, just save the money and buy the supreme. Quote
Wprich Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Let me just say I love my pfluegers, I have 4 presidents, 2 supreme xts, and 1 supreme mg and love them all. I've had 2 of the presidents for about 5 years and have caught largemouth, hybrids, pickerel, even catfish on them with no problems. The presidents get the job done hands down and for the price they can't be beat imho. Is the supreme worth the increase in price from a president, I would say not for the $150 price tag but if you can find them marked down a bit then definitely yes. I got mines for $73, $85, and $110 all brand new off eBay. Quote
