The Pflueger Président XT casting reel is lightweight but packs a serious punch. The look is fantastic and modern. The fit and finish is superb and most importantly, the feel is high quality.I have purchased 4 of these for myself and family. I also own a Pflueger Patriarch XT casting reel and a Supreme casting reel. Although I absolutely love my Patriarch XT, it’s a 6.4:1. I was looking for something a bit faster and this fit the bill at 7.3:1. I have to say, it has the same smooth feel that the Patriarch has. The drag is actually 17+ pounds NOT 12 pounds as I’ve seen advertised in some places. It has hauls in several 2 to 4 pound largemouth bass and even a 6.5 pound catfish. No problem. All my President XT’s are paired with Fenwick HMX 7’ MH fast action one piece rods and 30 pound braid line.Bottom line, this reel looks, feels and performs like a much more expensive reel. Feel comfortable purchasing it.Perhaps Pflueger will release newer models of the Supreme and Patriarch for their diehard patrons? We can only hope!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible reel for the price, and great for beginners
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018
I upgraded to this reel from an Abu Garcia Black Max, and I’m very pleased with it. The overall build quality is very nice, the cork grips feel really good (especially when they get a little wet), and the casting ease/distance is really good.

I put my equipment through some pretty heavy abuse through hiking to fishing spots, climbing all along rocks, etc. Whenever I start to feel like this reel is going to get all jacked up from sand or rocks in the worm gear, I just set it down for a bit, maybe rinse it off with some water, and it’s good to go.

If you’re looking for a well-made, inexpensive baitcaster then look no further. My only regret is that it doesn’t come in a left hand retrieve model, so hopefully at one point they start making that.
