Why is the supreme better suited for freshwater ? Are you saying Pflueger is better than Sahara ? yes he is and i agree.the medalist is a saltwater reel.it will stand up better to corrosion in saltwater use.the supreme is magnesium and cannot be used in saltwater.the supreme is far lighter(magnesium) and is a freshwater reel.the supreme is also smotther.i have owned both reels and they are both nice but for freshwater the supreme takes it.if you could save a few more $ the supreme xt is even nicer imho.

i use johnny morris signature series.imho they compare to any rod made.i've used extremes and my wife has a bionic blade.all good rods at their price points.

bigger spool diameter promotes less line twist and coiling issues.bigger reel is stronger in every way.if you want light buy a pflueger supreme or a supreme xt with a magnesium frame.

tighten the drag down all the way and peel the line off fast.this will squeeze off the oil.if it doesn't work then something else is wrong.it may take a few runs.

you won't be able to tell the difference.there is enough of the two sections contacting each other that the rod is strong and sensitive at the same time.

just tie a palomar and be done with it.a properly wetted and tied palomar will never fail you and it's easy to tie.

chartreuse senkos are killer on smallies.no fast moving bait with a senko.

alconite are only slightly harder than hialoy.sic guides are far harder than either of the other 2.st. croix has used pac bay guides on the premiers for years.

GET A JOHNNY MORRIS ELITE!!! on sale now!!!

kent,do you like pulling teeth?ROFLMAO!!! ;D

they are both quality reels.enjoy it dude!!!

xt also has corrosion resistant bearings.

fireline braid or cajun red cast mono.

stay with pflueger.get at least a trion narrow spool or the president.out of those 2 i would get a president.it's built on the revo frame and is nice and compact.

red cast is limp.the other lines such as advantage and red lightening are not limp.

xt on a johnny morris signature series.

carbon drag washers.they are both awesome reels and for the money blow away anything any other manufacturer offers.

;D ;D i hope you pee your pants laughing!!!it is a really good mono line.they even make it in clear for all those close minded people who have a mental block against red.i have used it and caught tons of fish on it.red may not catch more fish but it certainly doesn't catch less.

cajun red cast

yes,it has a better drag.i have no problems with it.

mono = cajun red cast flouro = seguar invizx braid = fireline braid

i have a supreme xt 8035.i like a bigger reel = less line issues.being magnesium it is still very light.
