Bass2124 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Both are on sale for $79.00. I have a lews and need 1 more baitcaster to add into the collection. The President was 149.00. Is it a better reel? Speed spool is a great reel but thinking President due to its price may be a higher end reel. Any feed back would be great! Quote
SenkoGuru Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 The president, IMO, will compare to the BPS Johnny Morris Sig reels if you have ever fished or held one of those. I think you would do very well to go with the President over the other at that price. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Haven't used the less but the president for 79.00 is a steal! Great reel love mine. Quote
Brian Needham Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 you can get a lews speed spool on ebay for $65 shipping but if you are going to spend the $140 on the plueger then why not get a lews TP for $130? Quote
mjseverson24 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 definately get the president it is a very nice reel for 80, it is a good reel for its MSRP. I am not saying the lews is a bad reel its just comparing it to a reel that is 1.5 times its suggested retail price. Mitch Quote

OkeechobeeAngler Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Either or. Both are nice reels. Quote
FishinCop646 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Just bought 8 Speed Spools for Christmas, a gift to myself. You can't make a bad choice, as long as you choose Lews! 1 Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted February 15, 2014 Super User Posted February 15, 2014 you can get a lews speed spool on ebay for $65 shipping but if you are going to spend the $140 on the plueger then why not get a lews TP for $130? He is looking at paying $79 not $140. I have a TP. Nice reel. I think I would have to go with the President at that price. I've got 3 Pfluegers, but not the President. Two lower cost (MSRP) reels and one higher than the President. I like them and feel Pflueger is under-rated. Several years ago tackletour gave the President the best value award. Quote
