Pflueger Spinning Reel

I used the supreme for I guess 7 or eight years and finally decided to try the Stradic cI4 two years ago.  Line twist is no longer a problem so last year I purchased the FJ series and I will not be switching back to pfluger because of the extreme line twist I've experienced using them.  I've been wanting a Patriach but would like to know whether line twist is a issue or not before buying one.  My advice is pick up the Shimano FJ 2500 series on sale if you can find it on sale.

I did get some line twist with the President, but It was not horrible, I have not experienced it with other Pflueger models, I do close the bail by hand after a cast, as it seems to help prevent any line twist on all reels.

The difference between the higher priced reels is they have more quality manufactured parts on the inside. Some have less plastic moving parts. More metal gears.

For spinning I like the Fin-nor and okuma epixor. There was a member here who once said if everyone owned a fin-nor spinning reel his reel repair business would go out of business. The fin-nor reels aren't cheap.
