Dangus Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Orvis access is comparable. I think I paid 150 or less. Nice little reels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhunt Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If you don't mind a drive, they had some 5/6 Trion that were new old stock at the Sportsman's Den in Red Deer about six months ago. Also, check out Canadian Tire's website - there was one at the Cochrane store about a year ago. Also, at one time Wholesale had a reel called the Streamside Harmony or something like that - it was the same basic reel but the cutouts on cage were slightly different. The spools would interchange, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I know I saw them at Fly's Etc in High River a few yrs back. Knowing Udo somewhat he may had some squirreled away somewhere in that shitstorm of a store. Now that they have relocated to new more spread out digs maybe they can be found. Call 'em (403) 601-6120 They're on the book of face as well. Friendly people and I've found some damn good deals in that store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLhammy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I second Taco's advice on the High River shop. I had seen one in there but that was a summer or two ago. Secondly - I'm not sure if it's just common knowledge so just not mentioned here - but I was told by the (one) helpful guy in Wholesale sports a couple of summers ago that Pfleuger does not make an alternate spool/cassette to that reel. I don't know if that would bother your buddy but just throwing it out so he isn't disappointed if he didn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalcal Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 I checked with Flys etc. and they don't have them in stock but did offer to get one for me....I'm still looking but may take them up on their offer, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurly Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The last time I was in the Whole sale sports cleanse shop in Pincher Creek, they had them at 40% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgib01 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The last time I was in the Whole sale sports cleanse shop in Pincher Creek, they had them at 40% off. Yes, I recall seeing some Pfleuger stuff in there a couple of weeks ago as well. On another note, pretty disappointed so far with their selection of fly reels/spools. There is stuff that has been sitting in the Lethbridge store for 5+ years at full retail prices, that I would love to see hit the 40% off cabinet in Pincher.

Spurly Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 For sure, they do not seem to change stock, very often, the good stuff gets picked over quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I bought a Pflueger President in WSS at their UFA outlet in Pincher last fall for $107. Think they still have some but prob not in 5/6...not sure if the President comes that small. Great reels...have two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalcal Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 I ended up buying a similar reel at a "box" store. Thanks everyone for their help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
