Super User new2BC4bass Posted April 3, 2017 Super User Posted April 3, 2017 I own cheaper and more expensive Pfluegers. No problem. Under-rated reels. 1 Quote

It shows new on their site so it must be a new version. I had never seen a pflueger bait caster before so was a little worried about getting one but found one for $50. Quote
smr913 Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Yep. It is a baitcaster. It's an old model so may not have the same specs. It used to retail at $129. Here is a review of it. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewpfluegerpresident.html Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 5, 2017 Global Moderator Posted April 5, 2017 No, they're super easy to setup with the magnetic brakes. I set mine once when I bought them and haven't touched it since. I use them myself but also let new fishermen use them too and they'vebeen great. Quote
runt4561 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 the old presidents were dynamite. I don't have any experience with the newer ones. at one time, all I fished was pfluegers. in my opinion, their quality went downhill a bit, a few years ago. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 6, 2017 Super User Posted April 6, 2017 The old President was a good reel, it is much different than the new version as the old one was a little over $100 and had an aluminum frame, the new version has a graphite frame is half the cost so it has been made cheaper but I can't comment on how this version will work but I don't care for graphite framed reels in general.
