birchy Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Anyone have any experience with both? Wondering how you find them/which you prefer? Have a Trion for my 3 weight, thinking of getting a President for my 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeler Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Can't look up the specs right now, but the President had a slightly larger reel capacity, so I went with the 5/6 for my 5 weight, no problems so far. The fishin hole and wholesale sports sell both models if you're looking to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adc Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have a 3 and 5 wt. trion and an 8 and 10 wt president..........All good........Only real difference is the trion is what I'd call a mid-arbour and the president is a true large-arbour..........Happy with both.......

Glenbow Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Both are great IMO, I have both. I slightly prefer the Trion for looks & that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm a fan of the President myself. Used it on my Steelhead trip last fall and the drag was impressive. I just picked up a second one last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
