What is one? I have a Pfleuger President, I think it is a 6920 model and I think it is a good reel and it was about $60. I don't see that model anymore, I see PRESSP20X model under the President moniker.

I want another spinning reel. This is for lightweight stuff, mostly panfish or maybe even all panfish but I fish for bass and have plenty of other rigs, but it would be nice if it could also be used for light bass fishing. If it's only good for panfish, that is fine.

In the Pfleuger lineup, I see:

President, $50
President XT, $80+
Patriarch, $200+

The Patriarch, at $200+, my assumption is that I probably couldn't tell the difference but I am speaking without experience with it. The President XT is a little lighter than the President, has more bearings.

What do you think is a good, light reel? It doesn't have to be Pfleuger, I have a Shimano Stradic for bass that I like. But it's not inexpensive; I think I paid over $200 a few years back.
