Thread: What spinning reel/rod combo

I'm also a fan of the Pflueger President reels, very nice and smooth for the money spent for one. You might want to check around and see if there is a sale going on

Everyone has a President as I have several and for good reason....if you can get them on sale or want to spend a little extra the BPS Carbon Lite is the best rod I've used other wise the BPS Micro Lite is good. That Shakespeare at Wally Word is a great budget rod but they don't make the 6 1/2 foot anymore

great thread guys, I was just wondering what to get for my next rod. buddy was selling out, after his 5th ticket for too many crappie and losing his license, so I bought one of his st croix's and shimano reel with braided line on it. Not my usual play but for $80 bucks AND 5 pounds of gulf shrimp just couldn't pass it up.

Looks like I will be looking for a sale on Pflueger presidents now with BPS micro lite rod

I have always been a what's on sale kinda dude.

if anyone sees good sale for the president's combo please let us all know! much appreciated!

Pflueger President 6925 for reel
For rods, I have a couple BPS Microlite graphites. One is a 7' light action and the other is a 6' medium light. I prefer the medium light for shoot docks and the 7 footer for casting multiple jigs.

President's hardly ever go on sale they run a rebate rarely

If you happen to go to Rogers, ask for Dave. Real big guy and knows EVERYTHING. In addition, last year at least, you could get 20% off a rod if you bought a reel. Can't go wrong with the Pflueger President. On the bass pro side I think their rods, after the initial larger guide, taper down in my opinion much too quickly. Just my 2 cents.
