    Pflueger gets an A+ from me. I own many. If the balance is correct I recommend the size 30. Many benefits to the larger spool...helps minimize tight coils and memory issues. Just my 2

    Fishing is a privilege...catching is a bonus. Enjoy each precious moment we have to experience our great outdoors!

    Just hit Academy and low and behold they had a 30 and a 20 both with red display stickers on them in opened packages. They said 10% off, but I didn't figure it was worth saving 5 bucks on a reel that been messed with by the masses and/or dropped, so I picked up the new 20.

    Compared the Pres. to the Wally Marshall 75 for $30 and they looked similar, but the bail wasn't as thick and the line ramp was just basic among a few other differences. It may have had one or two less bearings as well. Would have bought the 25 series President If they had it, but they didn't. According to Ebay these President reels used seem to trade just a few dollars off from new, so if the 20 deems too light, I guess I can put together another dock shooter for my son or just sell it and pick up a 25 series.

    The Mitchell 310 was a very nice feeling reel and very smooth, but it was a heavy little thing. It may have balanced better, but it weighed almost as much as my 30 series ABU rocket that I bass fish with. It was strange to be so small, yet so heavy.

    Hammerhead, if you ever get it in your head to sell that 20 down the road, I'm first in line. I have 2 and could stand a couple more and not have my feelings hurt. Hope it works well for you.

    I have a 6920 on an 11' BnM SHSS and like it. Puts balance point right where I want it.

    I have a couple of the 6920 and a couple of the Lews lazer lite and think I may like the Lews better. There all on casting rods,but honestly I believe you would be fine with either one. But the Lews is about half the price.

    I have three. a 6920, 6925, and 6930 . Some say line twist is bad but I personally have very little problems with any of them . I use the smallest(6925) when fishing bay springs in north ms. No casting involved but fishing(very clear water) 22-30 ft. deep .So to answer your question ,if no casting is done 6920 would be my choice . Not to sell the 6920 short on casting because for 2-4 lb. test it is good for casting ,especially tiny baits . The 6925 is my favorite as it is a do all type reel . cast 1/32-1/4 road runners,beetle spins ,ect. The 6930 even though it is technically an ultra-lite it's main purpose is float/fly or tight lining for bream/redear .

    I have 20s and 25s, they both work great casting or dipping for crappie. I have many of their series and absolutely love them. Can't go wrong with the Pflueger President series.

    I have 3-6920's. I love em!
    Fishin shallow where I live, even trolling isn't too far a stretch.
    Spool size never really played into the game, for me.
    Now dock shootin, I use a little larger spool. Old Mitchell 304 I think, the round gear case Mitchell .
