Looks purdy.......

If it fishes as well as a supreme, it's a winner.  I use my supreme 35 for snook, plenty of muscle.

That is one awesome looking reel.  If I didn't just get a ci4, I would be all over one of these

man these reels look nice.  Too bad I'm a shimano fan haha

That does look mighty tempting...and it's about time they brought that supreme over here

They certainly look great !

I was just getting ready to order a Pflueger Supreme 8030 - it already has a magnesium rotor and body - 7.4 onces - $100. Now, are these new models going to be THAT much better than the current Supreme ??? Decisions, decisions !

Sure is purty

I rekon that's why Bass Pro is selling the gold Supreme XT's for a $100 on clearance, to make way for the new Patriarchs, which must be their replacements in the Pflueger line-up

They should redo the President XT...that thing is

Both reels look really good and looks like Pflueger is stepping it up a bit. Can't wait to read the testing reviews.

gonna be good competition for shimano's CI14 , they both cost the same , but i think the pflueger looks better plus the flat eva handle grip feels better ( i know it's the one on the Revo premier) ..

I saw pics of the new supreme xt at $149, nice looking as well, still very light.

Yeah, but it's still a Flooger.   :-X
