Thread: Pflueger President

So, I currently have a Pflueger President, I am wondering if I should take that to surf fish when I come down. Or, should I upgrade to a Penn Fierce II? Keep in mind I will be using it for surf fishing not pier fishing, that is why I'm asking.

It'll work. Just rinse it off really good when you're done.

I used a president for years for spanish, blues, ect, worked great, just do as snake said and rinse it off really good

From description of Pflueger President spinning reels:

Smooth performance at a great value! The lightweight graphite body of the Pflueger® President® 6900 Series Spinning Reel is fortified with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel main shaft and components and equipped with nine stainless steel ball bearings (Model 6920 has seven) and one instant anti-reverse bearing. Machined, ported, double-anodized-aluminum spool is braid-ready. Ti-coated spool lip and line roller; smooth multi-disc drag; solid aluminum bail wire; Sure- Click Bail® with audible signal; soft touch knob; on/off anti-reverse.

My wife kids all use Pflueger President reels/ rods fishing from the beach. ( Found 4 combos for $30 each at a liquidation outlet when we first moved down ) We have bigger setups for targeting bigger fish but we've landed several nice reds, black drum on them. The med/light set up is a ton of fun with spanish, specs, pomps and flounder . YES - rinse and wipe down as soon as possible after use.

I would avoid getting it dunked by a wave if possible. I've gotten water inside a reel and found out which parts weren't corrosion resistant.
