Looking to get a pflueger supreme xt

[bassguytom]

I am going to get one of these. Should get a 25 or 30 size? I’m not sure about their sizing. I have a Diawa Ballistic 2500 that is the size I’m looking for but I know they run big. do they run big or small? Any info. Would be helpful. Thanks!

Don't know anything about the ballistic, I expect you want the 30. Pflueger sizes are smaller than the number suggests.

 

Check out the weight, spool size and retrieve rates on the Pflueger site:

http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/pflueger-reels-spinning-reels/pflueger-supreme-xt-spinning-reel/1347904.html#start=7

 

Size 25:  holds 90 yards of 6# line, 6oz weight, and a 22" retrieve rate

Size 30:  holds 145 yards of 6# or 130 of 8#, 6.8oz weight, 31" retrieve rate.

 

the 25 is more like a 1000 series reel of other manufactureres. And the 30 has a lot more capacity and inches of line pick-up on the retrieve for only being .8oz heavier.

I like the 30 for an all around bass fishing reel. The 25 is a good finesse reel that I use for Ned rigs and grubs.

Exactly what I would use a 25 for.  Great minds think alike.
