product description
With its feather-light design and buttery-smooth drag, the Pflueger Supreme XT Spinning Fishing Reel empowers anglers to perform at their best. The lightest Pflueger reel in its class, this spinning reel features an ultralightweight magnesium body and rotor that offers superb rigidity without burdening your rod with excess weight. Built for silky-smooth drag performance, the sealed carbon drag system brings hard-pulling fish to a halt and remains well-lubricated even after long periods of harsh use. Seasoned anglers will also appreciate the SMARTretrieve feature, which ensures high-precision line lay with every cast. The Supreme XT spinning reel is incredibly comfortable thanks to its EVA handle knob, effortlessly smooth retrieve, and a carbon handle that is 21 percent lighter than aluminum. A braid-ready spool allows braid to be tied directly to the spool without a monofilament backing, making this fishing reel an ideal choice for a wide range of species and angling applications.

Questions about Pflueger Supreme XT Spinning Reel(SUPXTSP35X)
Q:
what model year is this reel? 2011? 2014?
Answer: I believe it's a new model, I've got it from manufacturer a week ago. Don't think it could be 2011, but there's no model year on the package.
Q:
Is this the supxtsp35x which list for $149.00?
Answer: I am not 100% sure because I ordered it for my son but I know it was listed for quite a bit more than he paid
Answer: Yes it is. One of my best actually. Very smooth and light. I matched it with a Daiwa Tatula rod.
Answer: Yes it is,that why you have to watch out what you buy and pay for things on Amazon.
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes.
Q:
Is this reel good for saltwater fishing?
Answer: Saltwater reels need to be sealed for protection from the salt. This is a top notch reel for fresh water fishing and sure it would fish just as well in Saltwater for how long though is anyone's guess. If you broke it down and cleaned it a lot it might be fine. Good Saltwater reels are big money for a reason.
Q:
I am looking for a freshwater reel for steelhead and salmon, which is better mdl. 35 or 40, using 9'8" si fishing rod.
Answer: The 40 would be a better reel. More pounds available on the drag. I use my 40 for walleye and smaller norther pike.
Answer: I use the same reel for steelhead and brown trout been using it for two years
Answer: I have no idea. My son uses it. I do know that he has not used it in fresh water
Q:
Would this reel be good for panfish and bass if not what reel would be
Answer: You will love this reel! It's a bit big for pan fish, but just right for bass
Answer: Yes get one in the proper size for your needs and it will work just fine. Silky smooth.
Answer: Yes, this would be just fine for either.
Q:
What is the warranty on this?
Answer: Not sure what mfg warranty is off hand. But if you take care and properly store and maintain your reel you should never have issues. If a warranty is what sells you on a reel maybe pickup the offered extended warranty on Amazon.
Q:
does it come with a spare spool?
Answer: No it does not unfortunately
Answer: I believe sometime ago they did, but they no longer do.

Answer: No
Answer: It does not
Answer: It does not
Answer: It does not.
Answer: No
Q:
How much 10lb braided line will it hold the 35
Answer: I think you meant 35’ not 35”. It should hold 30 to 35 yds. without issue.
Q:
wich model be best for musky and pike
Answer: Fishing for Pike, the 40 would be best. You might be able to get by with a 35. Musky is another story. The bigger the better. These are relatively small reels and must be matched to a rod capable of handling this formidable preditor.
Answer: I would definitely go with the 40. These reels perform very well, but I would still go with the largest model they offer.
Q:
where is it made
Answer: I think Iowa.
Answer: China
Q:
Is a 30 size available?
Answer: yes
Q:
What is the max drag?
Answer: Much is made of this stat. While there is a published number it is a guide. For real life applications it is irrelevant. Prior to braided, it was much harder to burn up drag components by ov

Answer: China
Q:
Would this size reel be good for panfish and bass
Answer: It's perfect for bass...a little oversized for panfish (but would work). I would look more at the 25 (SUPXTSP25X)for those. The 30 would be the better all-around choice if you're going to only get one. All three of them are great reels. Hope that helps.
Q:
Supxtsp35x i purchsed this reel and paired it up with a 9' 9" lamaglass rod. how will it hold up to the coho salmon out here in the pnw fishies.
Answer: I use the same setup. My rod 10”. Should be fine up to about 10lbs. Caution though on braided line and bigger fish. These are small reels.
Answer: It should do fine, but for coho I personally think the size 40 would be a better fit
Answer: My grandson has landed 17 to 23 pound Carp in the Truckee River dealing with current . No problem. Handles braided line easily.
Q:
6’6” GLoomis spinning rod which size reel
Answer: These reels tend to run small. I have a 35 with a 7' Loomis. Depending on the taper and use, determines 35 or 25. Fast taper 4-6# line,25.the 35 with 6 or 8#. There are extra spools available from third party supply. They do not look like the OEM but works fine.
Q:
Can I move the handle to the right side? Can't do left hand.
Answer: Yes. Just unscrew the handle and the cap on the opposite side and flip them
Q:
What size should i get for a 6'6" medium pool?
Answer: I have a 35 and use it with 7" Fenwick and it works well. If it is a heavier glass rod it will work fine as these reels run on the small side. If the rod is composite the next size down may work better.
Answer: It depends on your line that you will mostly be using. I use this reel the sp25 for 2Ib line I have a sp35 also for my 6Ib to 10Ib line that I use for Bass fishing
Answer: For fresh water this is a great Reel I have three and will buy another one soon
Answer: I’d say probably the 20 or 30
Q:
What kind of rod is this reel best suited for? In regards to medium/heavy/xtra heavy?
Answer: Light to medium heavy. I used it with Lamiglas 8 foot medium-heavy action salmon fishing. Also using it for ocean fishing black fish and strippers. Good reel
Answer: Medium
Q:
What is the max drag for the supxtsp35x?
Answer: 12lbs.
Q:
I plan on using this reel for large mouth bass and northern pike what size should i get the 30 or 35
Answer: I would go with the 35. I have never fished for northerns, but It works great for Bass. Filled mine with 20# Power Pro. Good luck
Answer: I would get the 35 fore pike. If you are worried about too much line to fill you can leave 1/3 of it on for backing when changing line. I love the reel by the way. I have one on each of my St. Croix jig rods
Answer: The 35 size matches up perfectly with a 7' rod and will work for both species. I like the 30 for my 6'6" Rod
Q:
What size line can you put on this reel?
Answer: Depends on braid or mono. Rod type also needs to be considered.
Product reviews of Pflueger Supreme XT Spinning Reel(SUPXTSP35X)
Michael Szura III : Good value. Parts only available from third party
Latest technology. Good value. Parts only available from third party.
smp : Time to move on
I was expecting a silky smooth reel but the action is stiff which surprised me as this a premium reel for pflueger. This happened to me last year on a president reel which I returned for a much better working one. I generally like pfluegers, I have 4 presidents that have been reliable, but now I have two bad ones on the last two orders which tells me it is time to move on. I would recommend readers look at the Diawa BG reels. Even though they are rated for salt, they are as light as the presidents, extremely well made, silky smooth, and well reviewed. I bought one for my heavy rod, but will be getting a 2500 to replace this 35 pflueger on my medium. They are more expensive than a president, but less than this XT model and Amazon is running a good deal on them now.
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
I strongly recommend this reel, very smooth and the faster gear ratio makes for a awesome reel.
Mstrchief93 : Best reel I've ever had
Best reel I've ever had. I paired it with a St. Croix Eyecon and I couldn't be happier with how lightweight and responsive the set-up is.
Virgenmina Molina : Great reel

The reel worked great at first but after fishing about a week of bass fishing the bearings appear to going out. When using crank baits the handle will be difficult to turn at certain spots. Tried putting lubricating and didn't seem to make a difference, going to try in contact Pflueger.
Robert A Moreno II : Good but too Expensive
Overpriced for an amateur angler.
I picked up fishing as a hobby 2 years ago, so maybe it's my inexperience, but I really don't notice a major difference between this and the Pflueger President, which I can buy for a third of the cost.
I guess the Supreme XT should last longer based on it's specs, like a sealed carbon drag vs. the stainless steel oil felt drag, and the "better" materials in the Supreme XT reduce the weight from 9.9oz down to 8.0oz for the same sized reel.
I tried pairing this with a few different rods and I own, and couldn't get a good balance. So now I need to buy a butt-cap kit to balance this.
I think a better rod would improve sensitivity more than a 1.9oz reduction in the reel. I would recommend getting a less expensive reel, like the Pflueger President and spend the extra money on a better rod that balances well with the reel. This is just the opinion of an amateur that has used both products, I'm definitely not a pro.
The quality of the Supreme XT is great. It's very smooth and feels well built, solid.

ruth wilson : Casts great. Minimal line twist

Tony M : Five Stars
Nice reel just what my son wanted
dave : Light weight
Is well balanced with my 6 foot 6 fenwick hmg rod. Smooth action, love the feel.
Kindle Customer : Great value for money
Wife loves it. Great reel for snap jigging. It's fast and light weight. And, when I bought it, it was on sale. For the weekend angler that wants a fast and light weight spinning reel, this is the best bang for your buck. It's a great choice for snap jigs, Ned rigs, wacky rigs, and bobber rigs. For shad raps or spinner baits, the Pflueger President would be a better choice.
Brian : Not worth the money
I just purchased this reel a few weeks ago. I got about 20 casts out of it and the bail would not reengage after you made a cast. I would have to engage it manually. I returned it for a refund. Will not buy again!
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
I strongly recommend this reel, very smooth and the faster gear ratio makes for a awesome reel.
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
Awesome reel
wrknnwf : Great reel.
Don't fish as often as I used to, but wanted to replace an old Daiwa reel. I love this Pflueger. Reasonably priced and great reviews elsewhere. Very smooth, quiet action, except when the bail trips. It takes a bit of force to trip it and it is loud when it does. Will be manually tripping the bail. I like that the spool is braid ready, with thin imbedded rubber strips. Love the color and design. I don't think you could go wrong with this reel if you're looking for a mid price one. I'm probably going to get the lighter one as well.
RRY : excellent Reel!!!

Thompson Family : ... an upgrade and began researching to look for the best reel I could get for my money
After years of fishing with lower end equipment I was looking to treat myself to an upgrade and began researching to look for the best reel I could get for my money...I am a huge value consumer always looking for the best balance of price/quality. Over and over I saw the Pflueger Supreme XT in various articles. I went for the 30 and paired it with a 6 ft Medium action Ugly Stik GX2 and couldn't be happier. Mainly fishing freshwater in Rhode Island for Bass/Pickerel/ect this is the perfect reel for me, I highly recommend!
