et84 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Hey, everybody. I am considering buying a pflueger reel (for crane creek and crappie) and I have heard nothing but good things about the president series, but I have also been keeping my eye on the supreme series. This year they released the president xt, and I was wondering if anyone out there had already purchased one of the ultralight models. The price difference between the president and supreme is about $45, the supreme being higher. The supreme comes with a nice neoprene reel case, but I wouldn't use that anyway- I don't want to pay $45 more for a reel that's not much better than the president just because it comes with a case. I included the links to pflueger's site with tech specs for both reels below. Thanks for any advice!

smallmouthjoe Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I agree, the president is all that I have needed. It is a really tough reel that doesn't require a lot of maintenance. Great reel.
Buzz Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I really like mine. I bought it used off of a co-worker. It is really smooth and has a great drag. I caught a couple of nice trout on it the first time that I used it. I and am very glad I bought it. If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
Chief Grey Bear Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I have been eyeballing the Citron model. It will run about $20 less than the Prez model and from I can tell only diff is in the number of ball bearings. The Prez has two more than the Citron. Everything looks to be the same.

et84 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks for all the info, guys. I'm going to have to put this purchase on the back burner for a while....... Ran into a deal on a jon boat, couldn't pass it up. "Sometimes it seems like such a hard life, but there's good times around the bend.
