Just incase anybody was wondering, the president baitcaster works like a dream. The citica was gone so I couldn't get that but am very satisfied with the president. It's an older model so it's a little bit bigger than modern reels but it casts light lures without a problem and heavier lures ever better. It's reels very smooth as well.

Since you bring up shimano, the local academy here has a shimano citica 201g6 on sale. Does the citica beat the pfluegers?

Lol, I mean...it does though. When makers stop making a reel they generally take it off their site. I think they stop producing it last year or so. Google Pflueger president baitcaster. Cabelas, BPS, tackleware house all used to sell them.

I've been reading a lot on the spinning version but is the bait caster as highly regarded?

In the market for a new bait caster, and could use some advice. I have a reel up for sale and am being offered a president in trade. I've had my eye on the supreme but the president is a more expensive and can't find any reviews pitting them against one another. Anybody have any thought?
