This one has an aluminum body, MAROON in color. They will still make the graphite one. NO  35 size.

yuck, I still like the blue one.

I would rather wait to try it for at least a whole season before I make that choice. My President spinning reels, are my favorite, and the Trion not far behind. I have never ,ever had an issue with their graphite bodies.

Wonder what it's price will be??  If it's aluminum then it's going to be mostly just like the old Medalist before it got it's new upgrade.  Guessing maybe $80 like the Medalist was before it based on that assumption.  I like the maroon color but I don't like that they don't offer it in a 35 size.  They should offer it in all sizes if they are going to the trouble to make it.

I have a Medalist and I have used a President and I much prefer the President.

What he said, the Medalist went into the giveaway stash and has a new owner as of last season.

[sqhertz]

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

Lighter, smoother, 30 bucks less and I have never had a problem with a President. I have used them extensively.
I did not like the Medalist especially the bail. I flip the bail by hand, I just wasn't 30 bucks more impressed with the Medalist.

i was thinking about getting one , but im very happy with my president 6725. also , after reading around some , ive seen people say they have had problems with the bail also.  :-/
oh well , i know sports authority had the president combos at $57 and some change last time i was there. not bad.

btw , i kinda like the color of them but still prefer the blue-ish.

Interesting that Pflueger's blue President reel will now become red at just about the time that the United States' "red" president (republican) will now become "blue" (democrat).

Not trying to get a politics war started, I'm only just making a joke. I have a blue President reel that my wife refers to as "Hillary".

Watch out baitmonkey....next year's list.

I'm getting kinda bored with my daiwa tierra spinning reel... ;D

Whats weird is that the 2009 catalog has the president xt being black, with a 35 size.
Its alright for me cause I like the supremes, but what I really want to know is when the president rods come out.
