I got some of the new Pflueger Supreme XT spinning reels today. They are one of the smoothest spinning reels I have ever seen. They are really cool looking too. The color had to grow on me at first because I am more into the silver/gray look, but the gold looks rich.

The picture really does no justice. If you live close to a tackle store that carries these babies, you really should at least get a look and a feel. The BPS website actually has a little better picture but it was either to big or to small when I copied it to here.

I heard some stuff about them possibly jamming up a little bit, let me know if they get gunked up easily. I want to get one, but with all the river wading I do, I don't want to get a reel with a bunch of openings for grit and what not.

My only complaint with the reel is that hole-covered spool.  I took that spool off and used the spare spool on mine.

i have the regular supreme and like burley i'm rockin the spare spool. i do most of my fishing from the bank and tend to walk through brush and undergrowth to get to some spots, and all those holes in the regular spool are just asking to have a stick or dirt crammed up in there.

the supreme is a great reel though, i love mine.

You guys might be on to something. I think the ones I leave in my Triton will have the regular spools, but the ones I take pond fishing

with have the spare spools on them.

Thanks for the tips guys.
