Questions about Reels Spincast Pflueger PRES10SCX President 10Size Spin Cast Reel, 5 BRG. 3.4: 1, 10
Q:
can 20 lb test line be put on this reel and work?
Answer: I don't see why not,
Answer: Yes if it is Braided line.
Answer: Yes if it is Braided line.
Answer: No I wouldn't
Answer: No
Q:
What is the highest pound-test line this reel can hold and still function reliably and smoothly? Will not be casting very long distances, max 30 yards
Answer: I wouldn't go over 15 lb. mono. But braided? Alot!
Q:
Will a 12lb mono line work with this reel?
Answer: Spool holds 65 yards of 12# line. Max drag is 10#. Holds 75yards of 10#, and 90 yards of 8#. 10# will do the job unless you have to pull a big catfish out of a tree.
Answer: Sure the 12lb will work, it will just reduce the amount of line the reel can hold.
Answer: It states max 10 lb on the reel and I find that even a little heavy for the reel. BTW, reel casts very nicely but retrieve is a tad of a rush!
Answer: Do you mean will it wind the line up? Sure it will but why would you ever want that heavy of line on a small reel like this. If you’re fishing for any thing big enough to need 12 pound test you will probably break the real first time out. The maker recommended the line size for a reason. Short answer would be no.
Answer: yes , but it will not cast as far. dont need any heavier than 10#, or less
Answer: A bit thick thus limiting the amount to play the Fish. rather go for Braid.
Answer: Yes.
Q:
Does this switch for left hand.
Answer: yes
Q:
Whats the difference in the 10scx and 6scx modles? Difference in 6uscx and 10scb?
Answer: 10 is full size and 6 is smaller size, about the size of a micro reel but a bit heftier. SC meaning spincast and US meaning underspin/triggerspin.
Answer: the 10 is a little bit bigger than the 6
Q:
reel wieght?
Answer: Not sure but you can tell it’s well built
Answer: 13.1 oz according to the specs. But more importantly, the feel of the reel depending on the rod combination is very comfortable, and is reasonable when you consider the guts that this reel has.
Answer: I could not find the weight of the reel. To be honest with you I do not like a heavy reel. This is not a light reel but it is an excellent reel and the way it is built it should hold up for a very long time. I was not sure when I purchased the reel but when I found out it was a Pflueger I never wasted any time to purchase it. I have a open face Pllueger and I have had it sever years. Excellent price for an exceptional reel. Hope this helps you.
Answer: If you mean line weight 10#
Answer: Fine
Q:
What # test line does the president 10scx come with ?
Answer: Having a 10 in the description I would assume its 10 lb. I love the underspins but the only size it comes in is 6 lb test. They work great.
Answer: Not exactly sure, probably either 6 lb or 8 lb test.
Answer: Buy new line soak in warm water and spool it up. Dont use line thats been in a reel without regular useage. Your just asking for tangles
Answer: Yes 10lb and it’s a good reel for the money
Answer: 10#
Answer: 10lb
Answer: I "think" it comes with 10#. My rods are in the boat storage.

it's been a long time since I used a spincast reel. Can you use 10 lbs braided line successfully on this reel type?

Answer: Yes, but I had all kinds of problems with this reel and don't recommend it.
Answer: Yes.
Q:
I would like to know how much test line this spincast pueger president reel 5 bearing use
Answer: I take off the 6 lb. test that's on there and spool it with a better quality 8 or 10 lb. line. Of course it won't hold as many yards of line but it is still plenty for long casts.

Answer: Yes. Works well on any freshwater rod.
Q:
Does the Pres10scx come pre-spooled and if so, what size line?
Answer: The reel comes with line. I do not remember what size that came with it but usually 10 lb is always put on this size of reel. If replacing the line I would not go lower than 8 lb and not above 10 Lb. Hope this helps you
Answer: It does come spooled with mono but I don't remember if it was 8 or 10 lb test. I put 15lb braid on mine.
Answer: Yes, it came spoiled and my came with 6LB Test line.
Q:
Is the cover metal or plastic
Answer: Metal, and a very nicely made one. However, the included photo with this question is not the exact model I purchased. I have the "under trigger" variation and the photo is for the "thumb" release version. I don't believe Pflueger would change the spool cover between these variations, but I wanted to be accurate in my response.
Answer: cover is metal. they make a good reel for sure.
Answer: Metal. Aluminum.
Answer: Metal
Answer: I went to Google and looked up the specs on the reel. It is an aluminum frame and aluminum cone.
Q:
reel wieght?
Answer: Not sure but you can tell it’s well built
Answer: 13.1 oz according to the specs. But more importantly, the feel of the reel depending on the rod combination is very comfortable, and is reasonable when you consider the guts that this reel has.

Answer: If you mean line weight 10#
Answer: Fine
Q:
How much 10lb test line will this reel hold?
Answer: Never measured it just filled spool
Q:
What test line does this reel hold ? Is this a ultra lite or standard use reel....
Answer: It will hold whatever line test you put on it.....comes with what looks like 10 lb test. I would consider this a standard use reel. Not a ultralight and not a heavy duty, large fish reel. It is a excellent spincast reel thou. Miles better than any Zebco !
Answer: I use this Reel for all purposes with Braid and get many hundreds of yards of 10 lb test on .
Answer: 6 or 8 lb. test should work well
Q:
What pound line comes pre-spooled on reel? Not in in production description anywhere on box or online.
Answer: On the President 10 it's 10lb line. I use them for Trout, so put 6lb on. I bought 2, but wouldn't buy them again. The line catches up in them, and casts like garbage half the time.
Answer: If I remember correctly, it comes spooled with a 10 lbs. line.
Answer: Not sure if this is what they put on, but on the reel it says "75 yds/10 lb"
Answer: I want to say 10 or 8 pound test
Answer: Four pounds

Answer: i think it was 6 lb
Q:
What is the difference between the pres10scx, pres6scx and the pres10scb? I don't want a micro but also dont want one the size of a 808.
Answer: it is not a micro it is not an 808 it is mid size it works great
Q:
how much does it weigh ?
Answer: I haven’t weighed it. It is very light and comfortable. Quiet and smooth. Everybody has his own preferences but I love these reels.
Answer: Not sure, but it’s solid. I bought as a gift for someone and almost kept it as I was so impressed with the reel.
Answer: 13.1 oz. Just as it shows on the info page under "Product Information"!

Q:
What lbs test is this reel pre-spooled with?
Answer: 6 lb
Answer: No line comes on it.
Q:
Whats the difference in the 10scb and the 10scx ?
Answer: i believe its the gear ratio.
Q:
What does Clam mean?
Answer: What do you mean by "Clam?" I found no such word in the description.
Answer: "Clam shell" package, not boxed.
Answer: How the reel grips the line when the button is pushed in.
Q:
Can it handle 30 pound line?
Answer: I believe you could put 30 lbs line on this reel, but the total amount of line on the reel would be less in terms of total feet / yards by doing so.
Q:
What size line comes on president 10scx?
Answer: I believe it's 10 lb. test line. I really like the way it casts, too. Never have to worry about backlash like a bait casting reel.

Q:
Where is this product made and shipped from?
Answer: no
Product reviews of Reels Spincast Pflueger PRES10SCX President 10Size Spin Cast Reel, 5 BRG. 3.4: 1, 10
Southeast VA : Better than Zebco!
I bought one of these to set up a bass fishing combo for guests that come to our house. I am so glad I bought this over a Z33. This works great. It casts forever, drag works great, reels in smooth, and I haven't had any tangles. I did change the line as soon as it came in to 6lb fluoro, and I recommend you do the same if you buy this.
*****Update***** Jan 2019 I just wanted to update this review after one full season of use. I still rate this reel as 5 stars as the issue I had was very minor. My father-in-law stress tested this reel by using it all summer, it is now his go to reel when he comes over to fish. The minor issue he had was the handle came loose 2 times while he was fishing, but some red thread locker fixed this issue and it hasn't come loose since. IMO it isn't worth losing a star because it was a simple fix. Even after heavy use this reel still casts a mile, retrieves smooth as silk, and has remained tangle free. I couldn't be more satisfied with this reel. Again, stripping the line and replacing it with quality line has really brought out this reel's potential. I wish I had one of these when I was a kid. FISH ON!
Dawne Bailey : Five big stars
....this reel is tough as well as a smooth casting one. My wife caught this Drum that weighed over 19 pounds and the reel performed perfect. The drag worked perfectly and we landed him, re-tied and continued fishing for hours. This is my second purchase for her btw. Love this reel for my wife!!!!! Get yours a couple.
Richard : Not a good buy.
Just bought it and it’s junk already. Sounds like gravel is in it when you reel it in.
carolyn grisby : I’m so what dissatisfyied because the price I paid I expect it to last longer.
I liked everything about it until today the reel handle cane off.

secret : Good value!
This reel is built well and works well too, the only problems I have had is with casting, because sometimes it will hang up when you long cast it. Other than that, I haven’t had any issues.
whatesleistheretodo : Great spinning reel
Purchased this to replace a Daiwa Gold. Its a dream to use. Casting is accurate, reels fast and smooth, drag works well and very durable. I trout fished (spinning) 10 out of the last 10 days and caught many 4in to 13in in slow and fast moving streams. This reel works! I'll buy it again.
Amazon Customer : Great buy
It Cast smooth And far .... Wheeling it in is so smooth it’s a dream to fish me I thought it was gonna be for my son but I’m keeping her to myself and ordering another one for my son....
James Canterbury : Awsome
Excellent quality
Eric0 : Good reel for the price
Very smooth reel. Nice retrieve. Best of the "cheaper" reels by far
Kenny Bunz : Never buy a Zebco again.
I have been zebco owner for years, all my reels will be this this brand from now on. It built very well and it casts with ease. I like to fish for blue gills and any pan fish so the test of the line is perfect.
Edwin : Very nice reel
Never owned one of these reels but I will say I am glad I paid extra (instead of the Zebco 33) as this is a really nice reel. I will be buying more in the future!
Bigr : Nice reel. I have never been able to use a bait caster. This reel makes it possible.
I like everything about this reel, especially Pfleugar.
Big Vike : Junk. I bought two
I bought two of these reels. They are junk. The build quality looks great. I'm just can't figure out why they won't cast. The line for some reason gets stuck when casting. It does this on both of them. It is like the line is tangled when it isn't. I bought these to replace some old Zebco's. I should have saved them.
Michael A. : Nice reel
Good casting and smooth reel
Alisa : Very smooth cast
Great reel. Very smooth and far casting.
Denver : Looks great - good quality
I have not had a chance to use if as of yet but the quality looks wonderful. Solid weight to the reel. Cant wait to try it.
Eric0 : Good reel for the price

Joe : Many seasons of service
I like a higher gear ratio. But it is a great reel!
Gloria D. : Good drag very dependable.
Well built reel. Cost more but will out last the cheaper spin casting reel on the market.
Wendy Roahrig : Perfect
As described.
Shaban Riza : Cheap Reel
This reel is garbage have only used it 4 times and it's still new the arm you reel in your line broke off, don't purchase this reel.
ByBry : Excellent Reel
Nice and smooth for casting and reeling back in. Very well made.
scott c bierie sr : Excellent Reel
Love this reel, it's so smooth operating and cast a mile. I will be buying another one in the future
Eric0 : Good reel for the price
Very smooth reel. Nice retrieve. Best of the "cheaper" reels by far
Ody R. : Pflueger reels; the best on the market. Ditch the others like the Zebco reels. they are crap
Ditch All the Zebco's from now on; The Pflueger reel is a Sweet rig; smooth draw. Line draws back smooth as nothing else in it's category. The Story: My father bought me a Pflueger supreme when we lived in the in the Panama Canal Zone fishing for Snook in the canal, I could cast further than anyone else at that time, it was the best rig I ever owned. 45 years later, I tried many, many, many rigs and remembered the Pflueger reel my dad bought me when I was a kid. So I did some research and decided to buy the new Pflueger spincaster . I bought one a month ago and was reminded of how nice of a reel Pflueger makes. Do not hesitate to purchase this reel. You will not regret it at all.
A. Lacy : Well worth it.
Great little reel. Super smooth
Richard : Not a good buy.
Just bought it and it’s junk already. Sounds like gravel is in it when you reel it in.
tjforestlake : reel/line will not lock
I finally got time to use my new Pflueger spincasting reel and it does not work as expected. It also appears that the return window has already closed so I can't return it. I'm looking for ideas of how to proceed. The reel casts great, the drag seems to work fine but when I get the fish reeled in I have to hold onto the handle because if I don't line reels back out. The reel does not lock to hold the line in place while I lift the fish into the boat and unhook it. Definitely not what I expected. Either I have a defective reel or I am missing a setting somewhere or the reel is not what I am looking for. Anyone have any ideas?
Eric0 : Good reel for the price
Very smooth reel. Nice retrieve. Best of the "cheaper" reels by far
MG34 : My wife loves this reel!!!
Wife loves this reel, smooth easy to fish with, hauls in the big fish!
Cush : Price is right
This was a gift that was happily received
Denise J. Brewer : Great reel!
This reel is great! Casts smooth and works very well.

James Canterbury : Awsome
Excellent quality
Jon Hoover : Not Good
Straight out of the box it didn't cast right. I thought it was my son or the line was bound up. But the spool would not release and after messing with it for awhile I gave up. I finally wanted a nice reel I didn't have to fix every time I go fishing. I guess its back to the cheep reels. This really sucks!
TAH : Reel
Very solid reel, Good value for the dollar
Kaleb B. Andrepont : Great reel
Reel was way better than I thought. My dad was telling me how his wasn’t too good, but it was rather old. I must say that I’m very impressed with the easy of use, installation, and casting distance.
Joel : The reel you want
First rate spin cast reel. Sturdy but light. Smooth. High quality. Love this reel
Gloria D. : Good drag very dependable.
Well built reel. Cost more but will out last the cheaper spin casting reel on the market.
Jon : Complete junk
I wanted to have one spin cast reel in my collection and did a lot of reading to pick this out. Right out of the box it got hung on every cast. I thought maybe it was the line so I restrung the feel with quality line and it still wouldn’t cast without catching. Do NOT buy this reel.
Ody R. : Pflueger reels; the best on the market. Ditch the others like the Zebco reels. they are crap

John Reynolds : Super reel for the money. Every fisherman needs a good push button spinner.
I did ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for durability but I honestly haven’t put it to heavy use yet. It’s smooth, looks nice, and the reel has enough weight to really balance a 5 1/2” lightweight medium action rod out nicely. It’s not the lightest on the market but I don’t count that as a disadvantage. There’s lots of tough metal construction there.
Richard : Not a good buy.
Just bought it and it’s junk already. Sounds like gravel is in it when you reel it in.
1984 : Good quality
Like it a lot!
Jerry L. Comer : May not fit your rod.
Haven't used it yet. Will not fit on any of the six rods currently in use. Clearance between foot and reel cover is too small. All my rods have a clamp that moves up and down when a circular nut under the handle is turned. Will add a new review when I can a new rod.
Craig J Hickey : Solid reel
Smooth cast reel
Christy Brown : Do Not Purchase, Bad Reel and Bad Customer Serivce
Do not purchase this reel. I purchased this reel in late August and by the first of October, this reel has stopped working. I've tried to contact customer service via email and phone on several different occasions with no luck. My email system emails me letting me know the email to Pflueger was not delivered. I tried to call on different days not all "circuits are busy". Bad customer service and worst product.
Sonny : very well built
nicely made and solid without the wieght
