At least you only mooked up half of the combo.  That's one sweet rod that I know you will really enjoy.  As for the reel, well........it's a reel.   ;D

I bet if you had played your cards right and kept posting about how you were sure the Pflueger was superior to Shimano and Daiwa, someone would have sent you a free one just to prove you wrong  ;D

fishing user avatardodgeguy reply : 

congratulations.did you get the narrow spool or the wide spool?


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

The narrow spool it felt better on my thumb


fishing user avatarThaKing reply : 

I have that same exact reel, to be honest i like my new curado better.


fishing user avatarskillet reply : 

 Not familiar with either one, except good companies. So, I just wanted to say it's great to save up and then get what you really want. Glad for you fella!

                                                           As Ever,

                                                            Skillet


fishing user avatarRedlinerobert reply : 

Congratulations on the reel, now go catch some fish!


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

Now that we finally have ice out I intend to. Cant get out til next week I CAN"T WAIT :o


fishing user avatardodgeguy reply : 

it's the same one i have.it's a great reel for the $.


fishing user avatarThefishy1 reply : 

dang, Muddy if i had known that you were looking for a pflueger baitcaster I could have gotten you one this coming weekend at the shakespeare yard sale where pflueger sells all of their unsold reels for 30-80 percent off.  Trions are 70, Presidents are 100 and supreme's are 130 bucks


fishing user avatarBassassasin12 reply : 

not to rub it in or anything muddy, but I have a president already and a supreme on the way  :o;) ;D ;D

Pflueger makes the best reels for the money, but shimano has the best reels if your looking to spend 200-500 bucks. This is something I will always say and you can't argue until you own one of the higher end pfluegers.

Muddy Man I don't have the Trion but I have heard it is a great little reel and I hope you catch come PA lunkers on it!

I would say that too Einstein.......that is if I just bought a reel that cost twice as much as the Trion.

Good choice Muddy I also bought a new Trion this winter, can't wait to use it. I got the wide spool, feels good in my big mits.


fishing user avatarPa Angler reply : 

ongrats Muddy Man good catch.


fishing user avatar.ghoti. reply : 

Good choice Muddy. Now, whenever you catch a fish with it, stand up and yell VIVA LA PFLEUGER, at the top of your lungs.


fishing user avatarlubina reply : 

Congrats....Good luck with it.


fishing user avatarRiskKid. reply : 

Enjoy the new set up and may you catch many fishes alot of them being really big!  :o


fishing user avatarThaKing reply : 

i have the trion  but see i said i like my curado better because i got them for about the same price.

The reason is because i work for a sporting good store and our fishing vendor is a good friend of mine and he gives me his catalog so i can get it at his price.

Dont get me wrong the trion is great for the price and alot of people own it.

But in my situation the curado came at a nice price.

Man...It's times like these that you miss living with your parents!!!


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

Very few things get under my skin, some of the replies here did. A lot of my buddies on the forums knew how much I wanted a Trion , so when I was finally able to get one I put it up . I can not afford 500 dollar reels, nor do I have someone to buy then for me. This was not posted to argue Pflueger against any other product. I was just sharing my joy with my friends.So why can't I just do that without some mooks just looking to knock or compare, stuff it fellas :-/


fishing user avatarMitchIsFishin reply : 

Muddy, I don't even know you, yet I know I like ya! Forget what everyone said. You got the reel you want and that's all that matters ultimately. I think Pflueger makes a great product. Not a thing wrong with them. I bought what I bought, because it was what I wanted at the time. You bought what YOU bought because you knew what you wanted. I'm glad for ya. Wish you were down in the south & we could hit a lake! In any event, furget it.

God bless ya & enjoy that new reel. :o


fishing user avatarflippin4it. reply : 

                Muddy, I own a President, Summit and a Trion. All are killer reels. I hope your dream has come true with that reel. I have nothing bad to say about Pflueger reels. I'm going to own a Supreme soon.

fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Hey!

Maybe I missed the diss...It's like it always is...

CONGRATULATIONS to you my friend...

fishing user avatarSPEEDBEAD. reply : 

Water off a duck's back muddy....keep it in mind and you'll be ok.  :o

Glad to see you got what you were saving for. Look at it this way, your new reel beats the crap out of LBH's casting stuff  LOL

Stay warm up north

fishing user avatartimistall reply : 

Not a thing wrong with PFLUEGER. My dad has since passed away, in his life time caught more fish with a zebco 808 than most people on this site combined.

HEY! I payed for it all myself! Summer job=new rod/reel combos  ;D

Cheers Dodgeguy. Long live pflueger! Enjoy your new reel muddy, welcome to the pflueger posse :)


fishing user avatarPond Hopper reply : 

Muddy,

Glad to see you finally got what you wanted.  I am in the same boat as I recently got 2 Revos and love them to death.  I think I may have to try out a Pflueger to see what they are like.  COngrats man.  And like RW said, wheres dad fishies?
