    Default what's the best trigger spin reel??


    I have a few of the zebco 11 and like them but there's more to be desired.. I have tried the diawia underspin that had the drag knob in the center of spool and it sucked..

    I don't need the best to pull in a panfish. I picked up 1/2 dozen Shakespeare Ti6s at Griz Jig. They do the trick and I am replacing my cheap Diawa underspins with cheap Ti6s..

    I also have some good rigs that I use, but, I keep them hid from the kinfolks. Call me selfish.

    I use these reels on my jigging rods but have steered away from using them on my spider rigging rods. I have had some folks go to set the hook and hit the trigger and 90% of the time loose the fish.

    The Pfluger trigger spins are the nicest ones we've used and so far they have held up and still work after a few years of use.The other cheaper reels seem to work good enough but end up with something breaking on them.

    What is the drag like on the Pflueger? I use the Zebco 11 and a Shakespeare (not sure on model) but my biggest gripe about them is the drag. Those two are fine until you get hold of a big white bass, striper or catfish. Sometimes the drag works on them and sometimes it doesn't.
