Here’s a review of the Pfluger president underspin trigger spin Reel mated to 6 pound, J- braid braided line. Performance is really good - it’s about 25% better than the competitors in the marketplace from Zebco 33 gold series. It does still have some shortcomings and I wish these manufacturers would address and fix and make these reels incredible for performance value.

I think $100 price point for this type of reel is totally reasonable; for a reel that would just blow everything else out of the market, I wish they would to the point where I am thinking of even creating my own fishing reel and marketing it. We’ll see if that could happen but for now, this is a recommended real over any of the other competitors. Even though I haven’t fished, the Daiwa series trigger spin yet. That might be coming up in a future video, we’ll see thanks - cheers.

I've been fishing for over 40 years and still don't understand why someone would need a reverse when you have a drag system. Or all you need to do is push the button and let the line out. A lot of the manufacturers are removing that because it's just another area for water and dirt to get in to the housing.

Good comment - point taken.

I have both and the Pfleuger is HANDS DOWN a better product. That being said, the 33 Gold Trigger-spin it's a great, affordable little reel.

I agree - I'm trying now to get my hands on a Lew's Speed Cast Triggerspin -- but they are difficult to obtain for some reason ... really weird.

I've got a Daiwa 40XD coming in I'm interested to try. I like the trigger-spins.

Yo no se si todas las Pflugers tienen ese problema, pero la mia también lo hace

@JSturr 14 күн бұрын

I think it's a design issue - from what I've been told, the assembly just sits in the body of the reel and isn't attached to the body and so it has a tendency to move around. Go figure ...

This my first time seeing the redesigned underspin. I have numerous older models. Gotta say the new one looks super cheap. Im guessing the innards are exactly the same but the older models looked much higher quality. I feel you on the weight. Real heavy. About that loose fit. You probably know this but the entirety of the internals are not anchored to the body in any way. The rear section is locked into the body by the handle and the drag wheel to a lesser degree.

Thanks for the comment - I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge as I didn't know the extent of their internal design as you have described. I really wanted to buy last years model -- was going to order it online as it was about $15.00 cheaper than retail -- yet ... when I went to the Sportman's Warehouse the sales man pointed out to how the spool cover was totally enclosed vs. the older model ... and that really sold me in order to keep any dirt etc out of the driveline... everything else appears to be the same -- but as you mentioned -- the thing is so crazy heavy ... and their design cues are a bit flawed -- surprisingly flawed.

@JSturr the previous model has slots cut in the cone that give it the appearance of not being sealed. But there is a clear plastic cover inside the cone that goes behind those slots and I'm pretty sure it's sealed. Honestly, there's a gaping hole at the front of the cone where most of the contaminants enter so the difference is negligible. If I can find some older stock I'm going to buy as many as I can.

Here they are on their web site -- www.pfluegerfishing.com/president-spincast-reel-1447418?variant=1430536 - for $29.99 But -- help me understand why you think the older model is better -- other than the cutouts for maybe saving some weight ??

@JSturr the internals might be the same in every way. I'm mostly commenting about the aesthetics. The new model reeks of cost cutting. It looks cheap. The old model looked as premium as a closed face reel can be. I may buy a couple of both and do a comparison. Either way, this is one of the most fun reels to fish with. Thousands of rapid fire casts all day.

You like the Daiwa rod...how about the Daiwa underspin...compared to the Pflueger?

Good question .. I’m maybe going to try the Daiwa … but from first glance that reel looks like something from the 80’s … so I never gave it much credence… I looks like it has been a bit forgotten.

@@mkanyuhThanks - I’m also going to experiment with 15lb 0.16mm braid … vs the .08mm braid. It’s a smaller diameter than 4lb trilene at 0.20mm - so I should still have very good performance. I think that crazy small braid may not be that good of a performer with this type of reel… we’ll see.

I bought that very reel. It was dry as a bone no grease or oil. Hard to turn handle and was very hurry Jerry. Took it back to Dicks for refund and bought the Zebco micro spin. The Pflueger should never have left the factory like that. However the Zebco takes Superman to get the cap off.

Yep - both sides have some issues … I just don’t understand…🤔
