Pflueger President, which one?

Featured Replies

If you're only going to have one spinning reel for bass fishing, which Pflueger President would you get?

The choices are 730X, 115/6, 9.1 oz, or the 735X, 145/8, 11.2 oz.

i would get the bigger one.i would also buy a medalist instead.

I have a 735X on a 6'6" St Croix Premier Med Action/fast tip I spool it iwth either 6 or 8 # test and it is one great reel for bass fishing ;)

I have a 6735 on a 7' M BPS Extreme rod, spooled with 8lb Trilene XL, I also use 10lb Spiderwire Stealth Braid on it with the spare spool. This is my Senko, Fluke,Trickworm, set up. Casts those weightless lures a mile, no line twist. I have fished the living heck out of this combo for 2 seasons, brought in a fair number of 4,5,and 6lber's and is still like new. I also have a 6730 on a 6'8" ML BPS Extreme rod spooled with 6lb Trilene sensation, this is my drop shot set up, have not really used it much in the season and 1/2 I have had it, but the smaller reel cast's well and I haev no reason to think it would not give as good as service as the bigger with more use.

Thanks Dodgeguy. I'll include it as part of the order I'm placing today. Boy the bait monkey is doing cartwheels and laughing hysterically. My excuse-It's Christmas!

I use both the President and the Medalist and while I prefer the

Medalist, I have not had any trouble with either of them.

The best advice I would give would be to evaluate what you really

need. Sometimes bigger is better, but it isn't usually the case when

it comes to fishing gear. I use the 6030 Medalist (6730 President) for

most applications. It is light and makes fishing with it all day a breeze.

Keep your eye out next year for a sweet new spinning reel from Pflueger,

it is called the Supreme. If it is anything like the Supreme baitcaster you

will fall in love right away.

Below is a picture.

Take Care,
