I'd wait a month and see what BPS has for Black Friday. Last year they had the regular presidents for 29.99.

I'm a Daiwa guy, but the XT looks better to me.

I think, in addition to it being a Black Friday deal last year, Pfleuger also changes the President for this year so it was like a close out sale. I may be wrong and hope that I am because I’ll buy more than 4 this year if they have that sale again

I love mine, that's a great deal, I think I will buy another!, thanks for sharing!

I have been using 2 of these reels for about a year. They are mounted on Cabela's Fish Eagle graphite rods (6'6" & 7'0"). As "G" says above stainless would be more durable but I have not had any issues, so far.

FWIW, the President has a graphite body.

Aluminum > graphite, but we're talking about crappie, not tuna. Almost any reel you like will work just fine.

I absolutely love the President 6920. I have 4 of them, which replaced all my Shimanos starting back about 10 years ago. The price break and exceptional quality are truly amazing in this day & age.

Shimano had an inherent design problem with the friction rings (most models) failing rather regularly. Then, as a "fix" they changed the design and kicked up their prices by about $20.00+ on each model! I just hope this Pflueger XT model isn't a similar attempt at kicking up prices and reducing the quality. Probably not, but it bears watching. JMO.

I think the president is about as good as it gets without spending $ 100.00
