Pflueger President review

by 4 Comments

I was on the hunt for a new spinning reel so I asked the members of our trusty forum for a recommendation. The only criteria for me was a set price, and it had to be under $75. I have more expensive reels, but I knew I could get a solid reel for below the $75 price point. After reading the member recommendations and doing a boat load of online research, I settled on the Pflueger… ...Read More

Trying to buy one can cost you anywhere from $15 to the unthinkable on ebay….for a bunch of wire? You can not argue it’s success though. I will pass on them for now and pick one up in the clearance… ...Read More
