Questions about Pflueger MONICEB Monarch Ice Spinning Reel

what is the line capacity? im going to use this for walleye

Answer: Mono 2/180, 4/110, 6/85. I put 50 yds of 10lb power pro ice-tec and there is plenty of room.

Is this only for ice fishing? Or can it be used for crappie fishing?

Do these reels have anti reverse?

How smooth is the drag and poundage

Line capacity?

Is it Better than the president

Does this reel have anti-reverse on it? Also how is the drag?

Answer: This reel only has anti-reverse. Note that it does not allow you to backreel. Drag seems to be pretty good. Nice reel for the price.

How much does this reel weigh?

Product reviews of Pflueger MONICEB Monarch Ice Spinning Reel

T.Xiong : Bummer

After several trips on the ice I would consider the reel good to go. Size wise it's comparable to a plueger trion 25. The reel doesn't have an anti reverse switch like any normal conventional reel, but that my be due to design. Not a deal breaker for me, but it is what it is. I've only used it in a heated shelter and havent had any problems.

**Update**
On my last outing the plastic teeth that which is part of the handle assembly broke. These teeth fit into the main gear.
Severely disappointing that I've only used this reel a handful of times to have something break. Will be sending this back to Pflueger for warranty. We'll see how they treat it my case.

Rich : Very high quality

High quality fishing reel. Will definitely continue to buy pfluger products. Very impressed

paul : Great Reel (Net complaints debunked)

Ice fishing combos may be cheap and easy, but nothing like a good reel like this on your rod. Happy with crank not being metal: internet complains but keeps fingers and my gloves from freezing to metal. I have absolutely no need for reverse when icing (internet complains) tho common on other ice reels. Long neck makes it larger rig than my ice combos, but has no effect (medium size hands) on my hole hopping when flipping the bailer or grabbing line. Like all reels, bailer does better in ice with something other than braid (tho I still use ice braid).

Matt : Great price

I bought these reels for crappie fishing. They are perfect size and well worth the money

Demoncleaner : Great ice reel for the money.

Nice long stem, could use with gloves. Very smooth drag, typical of Pflueger!

Amazon Customer : Solid

Not a bad reel for right around $20. Used it with a Fenwick Aetos 30" MH and it was a solid combo for lakers. Everything I expected from this reel.

T. Lapp : Good crappie reel

Actually put it on a 5'6'' light action pole, and it works great for crappie

Ryanf : Very nice

I've only taken it out once but I really like it so far. I put it on a Fenwick Elite Tech rod. It's very smooth and fits well. There is no reverse but I never use that feature anyway on my other reels.

Rich : Very high quality

Rich Green : Nice little ice reel.

Pflueger quality and inexpensive.

Tom B : Not bad

Not bad but there are smoother reels out there. All depend on your budget.

Rob : Good quality reel

Good reel at any price. It was a little larger than I anticipated, but the build quality is really good. I expect many years of problem free use. The reel is smooth and the drag is easy to adjust. No reverse, but I’d never use that anyway.

C. Huntingford : Awesome little reel

I finally got sick of the junky little reels that come on the ice fishing rod and reel combos and ordered this beauty. It feels like a dream compared to the other reels I’ve been using. Drag works great and it’s so nice and smooth! Love it for ice fishing. Definitely worth the price.
