dryfly Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 You should be able to get on on eBay for $125 or less. There's a guy down South who seems to have an unending supply of Trions and Preidents. I got a 2090 a couple of months back but have yet to line it.

birchy Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yeah.. that's what I'm trying to figure out... if EBay is a better deal after the $20 shipping.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenbow Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 The Fishin' Hole has them. You can call and ask what their price is - 291-3688. I know Pfluegers just went down. Tell 'em Glenbow sent ya if you talk to Kelly or Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie1on24 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I just bought the 3/4 off e-bay for $108 cdn including all shipping and taxes a couple of weeks ago. I know wholesale sports is retailing them for about $159 +tax, not sure about the fishing hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sundancefisher Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I just bought the 3/4 off e-bay for $108 cdn including all shipping and taxes a couple of weeks ago. I know wholesale sports is retailing them for about $159 +tax, not sure about the fishing hole. Depending upon what someone wanted it for...for the versatility I would of suggested a Teton Tioga ($155) or a Orvis Mach V Reel (on sale for $179 from Orvis). The drag really doesn't look good on the Pflueuger. At least with these reels you have versatility to go salt water some day. Has anyone used a Pflueger in the ocean?

dryfly Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 That's why I bought a President ... for Cuba ... 114 more sleeps. Buddy used a President when we were in Belize last Feb. Is okay for the chuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie1on24 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I have a president series 9/10 that i use for chinook and chum up in the skeena area and find the drag to be just fine. I cant comment much on the saltwater use for this reel as i have only used it in the ocean a couple times. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenbow Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 The drag on the President is just fine. I'd use it in salt as well. As with anything, just rinse it after. Check out what Max has - he's probly got supm good for you on the cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/products/products.php?p=28 Anyone know what it's retailing for? I have the President Fly Reel. Love it, great drag and action. It did me well during my steelhead trip. Turned a couple of big fish that made screaming runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
