Dick's has a single pflueger patriarch spinning reel in the display case. it does not come with the spare aluminum spool, neoprene bag, box, papers, etc. just the reel as is. i messed with it and inspected closely and it seems to be in perfect working order. the deal is that it can be had for $75. Would you buy this reel as described for $75 with an MSRP of $200?
YES!!!!!!!
Yuup
Without hesitation.
You will have a full warranty. Go for it.
Get it for me if you don't want it. I'll pay shipping
yes
Jump on it.
Get it!
I wouldn't, but you probably should.
No!
Just playin...
Yes - and then send it to me ~
A-Jay
I didn't particularly care for the reel, but I'd buy another for $75 and give it a chance. Some deals are just too good to pass up.
I'm assuming this is the blue Patriarch and not the new one?
Without a second thought. Bad thing is then I'd have to buy a rod for it too
I've seen a lot of returned reels in the display cases at dicks, so I would be skeptical.
Not only would I have bought it, I would have bought a new rod for it too. Can't go wrong, it has a warranty.
Don't know anything about this reel, but the yea sayers, certainly outweigh
the nay sayers. GO FOR IT!
Hootie
I'd jump on it!
Oh yea!
ok, sounds like the answer is a yes....
thanks guys
Nah, I won't. Don't have a spinning rod lol.
Sounds like a great deal though. Go for it.
I had to replace a spool for my Pfueger Supreme last year and I was able to find a ton of them online as people sell models that are broken etc. for half of what the company wanted, but a new spare spool is only $12-$15 so you could save a bit more...
The Patriarch is a Fantastic reel, I would put it in the same level as the stradic but that is just my opinion, I like Pfueger spinning reels alot and I have some baitcasters which are old but they never die, so a bit heavy but grab that reel for $99, Dicks is good with warranty as well.
Great Find...Rods are on sale all over at awesome prices...
UPDATE: Went back last night and picked it up. So glad i did too. the kid i initially talked to was nice and helpful, but not the most knowledgable. i went back last night and found the one guy that i'm certain knows what's going on and is definitely a fisherman himself. thankfully he dug around and found a brown color envelope that said "patriarch reel" on the outside of it. inside was the box, folded, with everything. papers, cover, extra spool! Was just too good to be true i thought! I dropped the $75 pretty quickly and ran away like the christmas bandit.
Wow, what a steal!
Man you lucked out...that reel is amazing
definitely!!
Sweet!
Nice!
