if you are going to buy a pflueger which i highly agree with then get the supreme at 100$.i disagree with a 2500 size.get a 4000 size.the bigger spool will give you far less line issues.the reel is magnesium so it is light even in the 4000 size.stay away from graphite frame reels.the president is graphite in the spinning version.graphite reels have to much flex.i have had big fish snap the neck on graphite.it also flexs to much causing bearing misalignment.you can probably pick up a bps bionic blade for around $50.these are great rods for the money. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_98372_100002002_100000000_100002000_100-2-2 http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_94739_100001002_100000000_100001000_100-1-2

the center of where your hand holds the rod.for me thats the center of the reel seat.i think formost people that would be correct since most people palm the reel.also if you balance to the center of the reel seat then the rod will balance with any reel.

bps johnny morris rods.

the new pflueger president.built on a revo frame and has 20 lbs of drag.

the new fireline braid blows both of them away.

The Johnny Morris Signature Series and Elite are essentially the same reel as the Pflueger Patriarch, which is lighter and can be found on Ebay for $140-$165. I have one and it's much smoother than my Curado E7 and casts just as well. not true.the patriarch is built on a revo frame.the only feature the patriarch has the same is the dual braking system.

the braid is limper so it will cast furthur than flouro.a limp mono such as trilene xl might cast as far or close 2 it.

pflueger supreme is the best value for the $ !!!

i don't have either rod but i have a rod with recoil guides.i use them with berkley's new fireline braid and have no problems with them.i actually think they make less noise than my fuji titanium sic guides with the same line.

i was throwing weightless plastic lizards (7 inch) into a 17 mph wind today with the patriarch with no backlash.also caught my first fish of the year.a 3 pounder at a local pond on a chartreuse 1/2 oz double willow booyah spinnerbait.

pflueger patriarch!!!

the president cannot compare to the supreme.i would use a 4000 size.with flouro line the bigger spool makes less twist.

i've already done it.fireline braid wins.it's smoothest and handles the best.i've used all 3 plus a bunch of the others.

because all lines are visible in water including flouro!!!flouro is just less visible than others.

power pro is outdated.go with berkley's new fireline braid.it is an 8 strand braid.it is rounder and smoother than the others and handles the best.

digging in is caused by pulling against a snag which causes braid to dig into itself.this is solved by using a round smooth braid.the best is berkley's new fireline braid.braid on a baitcaster should be at least 12/50.i use 14/65 and 15/80.these are the same diameters as mono lines you would use.the thicker line helps prevent digging.save thin braids for spinning.

THE JOHHNY MORRIS IS FAR FROM THE SAME REEL AS THE PATRIARCH.THE PATRIARCH IS BUILT ON A REVO FRAME AND IS SMALLER THAN THE MORRIS REEL.oops,sorry about the caps!!!they are both nice but i like the smaller frame of the patriarch /revo reels better.

power pro is outdated!!!try berkley's new fireline braid.the new fireline braid (not fused fireline) is a totally round and smooth 8 strand braid that resists digging in better than any other braid.you should never use under 12/50 on a baitcaster because thinner lines dig in easier.you should use the same diameter you use in mono lines.save the lighter braid for spinning reels.

invizx is more manageable and casts better.

the patriarch has 20 pounds of drag.the titanium finish on the patriarch will look good long after the revo is scratched up.the are both good products.

i have a woo 6-6 mh spinning that i love.

there are reasons the patriarch is the top of the line pflueger reel.

fiskars kids scissors.

pflueger patriarch narrow spool

then you get guys like me who prefer the narrow spool.it's also .4 oz lighter than the wlp.
