rod and reel gone....

Hard to beat those Pfluegers.

I have a President that has seen some heavy use for the last 3 years. It got dunked on a winter outing (trolling motor was involved) and froze solid that night. Thawed it out and it's not quite as smooth as it used to be but still working well.

I bought a couple reels from brush pile fishing. No complaints here. Can't beat the price !!

The Presidents are some good reels

she probably would have tried to rescue it 55 yrs ago, but not now after surgery and 6 chemo treatments and 5 radiation treatments, the neuropathy pain is a bit on the harsh side if you know what i mean. but i picked up the same rod today and the shimano sedona 1000 today, gonna try some 4lb again

whoops. meant to say the Shimano Sienna 1000, any thoughts

[DockShootinJack]

They make good reels also. Lots of people use them

For spinning generally UL is about all I do. have one particular UL set up right now may be my best ever. Ocuma Celilo rod. 5', 1-4 lb line,1/32 to 3/16oz lures. On it is an Ocuma Ignite reel. Don't know what size you'd call it, very very small. Spooled with 2# SOS line. I have felt for many years my best UL set up ever was my old Mitchell 308 on a 3206 rod, but this set up push's it really hard! Bought the rod and reel separate and less than $50 in it. Money well spent!

Sorry to hear about her health issues. Didn't mean any disrespect, just trying to lighten the mood.

not a problem spartanation, she got a kick out that, she was tempted to jump in but with a kayak not sure she would get back in, she was more mad at me yelling on why she did not use a thether on that set up, i had to be quiet she said looks who's talking, during my BASS tournaments i probably lost 6 or 7 expensive set ups, so be it, all quiet now.

I have 8 President reels and just started to show wear on the one most used. Also the first on I bought, ten years ago. Fresh and salt with some of them. Best reel for the money in that price point.

If you can find one, in the same price point, I also like a Diawa Regal LT 1000 with ten bearings. I have one in 2500 and one in 1000 size, very smooth. Handle one, you’ll see what I mean.

Yup I have them both as well. Great reels and very smooth.
