NEW PFLUEGER PRESIDENT XT SPINING REEL SERIES!

[Joe Boss]

I don't know, the one I had , 2 years ago had an n and off switch, maybe Cart 7 can help you with that

HeyGulfman: Any where in that artcile when the new President Trigger Rods coming out? I know they will sell at 50 bucks each, do not know who has them uet.

Nothing on the President rod, sorry. They had a review on about 50 new items, rods reels and tackle.

I am a member of neither and they're driving me crazy...

[Muddy]

I think you guys must keep this thread alive just to drive the

Shimano Posse crazy!

 You got your own board, now go back from whence you came ;D

[The Rooster]

I'm expecting them to be $80 to $90 by how they're made.  Just like the Medalist of 2008, 10 bearings and aluminum frame with rubber grip.

Sorry for the triple post but according to the latest North American Fisherman magazine the Pres XT is $79.95

Aw yeeah!! I called that one!!

C'mon RW, you know you wanna be in the COOL posse with us. We won't tell the Shimano guys. We promise. :

[I.rar]

can anyone elaborate on why you prefer the president over the medalist?

The old Medalist didn't have On / Off anti-reverse (Muddy can correct me if I am wrong). Same problem as the Infusion. They were very heavy, in my opinion they were made more for saltwater fishing than fresh.

i did notice the weight difference. the larger presidents can be used for both accoring to thier website.

ive never really understood the whole antireverse switch. ive never used it. wth is it for?  :-?

anyways , i may hit up sports authority this week and see if they have anymore president combos and just snag one up for a b-day/xmas present to myself. at under $60 a pop , they seem like a great deal imo. last time i went they only had the 6735 model.

[Muddy]

Thats right RW, it would be the same for ABU also. Not everyone is a SHE MANO LEMMING here ;D

That 6735 would be the one I want!! Under $60 a pop?? I paid that for the REEL this passed spring!!

I only use my antireverse switch when I accidentally reel the line up to far to make another cast.  I flip it off momentarily and roll the line backwards a turn or so, then reengage it again and problem solved.  Some people like Shaw Grigsby don't use antireverse at all, they just let the line play out backwards as a fish takes it and slow it's rotation with their hand as it goes.  I saw him do that on his show once.  I didn't like the idea at all though.

When I fish the river with live bait, I leave it off sometimes and use my index finger on the line to control bait drift.

[KYntucky Warmouth]

Not too fond of that color but love my 6740... a little heavy but matched with my 7' MH extreme I can fish all day with it.  Pflueger definitely gets my vote for spinning reels and it's all because of the president.  

[I.rar]

if i can convince the fiance to go by sports authority with me , i may bring one home if they still have them today.  

ive never used any antireverse switch.

they only had the 6730 and 6740. i already have a 6725 so i went for the 40. there was also a $10 off coupon for a $50 or more purchase.

[Sharkbite]

Great deal!

Muddy this reel sounds nice.

[The Rooster]

You got a real deal!!!  I think the 40 size is just a bit large for my tastes but if you like it then you'll never beat it, wow I can't believe you only paid that little bit for the COMBO!!!  Awesome!!!

[KYntucky Warmouth]

That's a great deal for the combo...I have the 6740 and love it

[Catch22]

I just picked up the President XT tonight.  I picked it up in the 6735 size.     It was selling for 59.99 and they were having a 10% off sale at my local tackle shop.  It ended up costing me less than 54 bucks.  I can't wait to try it out.

[Maxximus Redneckus]

muddy how is the fusion i played with one seemed nice but 70 bucks i think whats ur take on it???

[Muddy]

Never handled one.I am very happy with Trion BC's and President Spinning reels. I got tired of selling my reels ,UPGRADING, only to ditch those and come back to what I use.

[bass wrangler569]

I'm sure its a nice real seeing as the old president's were fantastic but man that is one ugly color.

[Muddy]

It seems that this President is for Salt Walter applications
