Black Bass Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Which reel would you get the Pfleuger President or the Pfleuger Medalist? Both are around $70. Is there a better reel for the money? Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 1, 2008 Super User Posted December 1, 2008 I have all Shimano, with one President thrown in. The President is a super reel. I suggest the President. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 1, 2008 Super User Posted December 1, 2008 Shimano Symetre 2500 Cabela's has the 2500FI on closeout sale for $50 in their Christmas catalog. Otherwise, save some money and by the FJ for $100. Many members of the Shimano Posse consider this the "best value" in the Shimano line-up. 8-) Quote
MAMan Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 How about a Shimano Sahara FD for 79.00? Thinking of buying one myself also. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted December 1, 2008 Super User Posted December 1, 2008 President hands down over the Medalist. Satisfaction gaurenteed or Muddy will give you your money back : Seriously, get the President. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted December 1, 2008 Super User Posted December 1, 2008 The President is quiet possibly the best reel I have owned..... Quote
Flywatersmallie Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 How about a Shimano Sahara FD for 79.00? Thinking of buying one myself also. I bought one, I like it a lot! The "trickle down" from the higher end series is very apparent. It feels a lot like the older Stradics to me. I just wish they wouldnt have eliminated the 1500 size. That was a great size for the smallie fishing I do Quote
hart101080 Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 President , have one love it . Look around i think ive seen them cheaper. just a lil heads up. Quote

bpraz Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 The president is a really smooth reel but a little heavy but has a good smooth drag . Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 4, 2008 Super User Posted December 4, 2008 IMHO If you want something from Pflueger better than a Presidant skip the Medalist and go to the Supreme. I own all 3 (and a Trion too), but I use the Medalist the least, and only own one, I have several Presidants and Supremes. Quote
