Super User HoosierHawgs Posted November 12, 2014 Super User Posted November 12, 2014 Its got all the standards of the price range. Certainly a nice reel. 1 Quote
Missourifishin Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 ready..... set..... RATE! The make a casting reel called the Supreme, and also a spinning one. So you might want to specify which one you're asking about. I've never handled the baitcasting one myself. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted November 13, 2014 Super User Posted November 13, 2014 If this is for the spinning reel Cabelas just had the Supreme XT for $100 Id rate that a 5 at $100. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 As mentioned above, if you are referring to the Spinning Version, I would give it a 5 (I never used the Baitcasting model). Every spinning rod I own has a Supreme (from my NRX's to my Cabelas XML's). Just a great reel independent of price. 1 Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted November 13, 2014 Super User Posted November 13, 2014 If this is for the spinning reel Cabelas just had the Supreme XT for $100 Id rate that a 5 at $100. At $100 I'd rate a Supreme XT at around a 13 or 14 haha 1 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted November 13, 2014 Super User Posted November 13, 2014 I don't think I would rather have any other spinning reel at the 100 dollar price. 1 Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted November 13, 2014 Super User Posted November 13, 2014 At $100 I'd rate a Supreme XT at around a 13 or 14 haha For FunkJishing Its still on sale for $120 if you can stretch your budget. I have a SupremeXT too been a great reel. For Veterans Day sale another $20 off $100 spent was what put it at $100. Quote
greentrout Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I own this particular model and it's over 10 years old. It has performed like a champ and still goes with me on my fishing trips to catch the LMB. 6:3:1, 5 bearings and brings in 26 inches per handle turn with a flipping switch. Bought it from BPS year end move 'em out sale. Normally 99.99. I got it for 69.99 with no shipping charge. Old school basser... Quote
bassr95 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Never tried the supreme, but I love my president, and it costs $40 less...I would assume that the supreme is great too! Quote
Daniel Lin Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 What are the practical differences between the President and its upgraded brethren? From what I can determine, it's pretty much looks, a smidgen of weight, and carbon drag? Quote

From what I can determine, it's pretty much looks, a smidgen of weight, and carbon drag? Probably the biggest differences between the President and the Supreme are the Supreme come with an extra spool, uses a magnesium frame, and a titanium line roller. I am sure there are other differences but these stand out. Quote
Hogsticker Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 If you want ratings why don't you just look at on line reviews? Pflueger makes decent reels. All I've owned started acting up in one way or another after a year or so of solid use, but still functional by all means. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted November 13, 2014 Super User Posted November 13, 2014 My 3 freshwater spinning reels are all Supremes, 25, 30 and 35. All of them are a good 5-6 years old requiring nothing more than a drop oil every now and then, these reels are used nearly daily 12 months of the year, nuff said. 1 Quote
jbw252 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I own two Supremes (9025XT & 8025MG) & two Presidents - all spinning reels. They have not let me down. Best bang for your bucks. 1 Quote
FunkJishing Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 im talking about the baitcaster. lol and judging by the reviews its a little better than the president. Quote

From what I can determine, it's pretty much looks, a smidgen of weight, and carbon drag? along with those diffrences the supreme is smoother at higher retrieve speeds. apparently the president feels a little rougher when reeling fast.

adam32 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I can't stand pflueger spinning reels. I've had constant line twist and wind knot issues with every one ive used. And they all have that two piece bail that somehow always seems to catch light line. If they got rid of that bail and had line management like shimanos I'd give them a shot again. Quote

All spinning reels create line twist when reeling. Some reels just do a better job of decreasing it. 2 Quote
