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

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 bought two of these. It appears to be 6-8 lbs test.
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.

Q:

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.

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.
Answer: 10 lbs test, but I change it to 6 lb.
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
2Theou : Worth every penny
Walleye fishing in Canada. Excellent reel for young anglers.
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
Edward : Good quality reel for a good price.
I just got back from a week in Canada, and even though the fishing was not that good, I gave this reel quite the workout, and it performed flawlessly!!! I got turned on to Pflueger reels several years ago when I was gifted a "Cetina" model, and I was truly amazed at their silky smooth action. This reel performed as smooth as my "Cetina" model and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. I highly recommend Pflueger reels.
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.
Joe : Many seasons of service
I like a higher gear ratio. But it is a great reel!
Alisa : Very smooth cast
Great reel. Very smooth and far casting.
lay opinion : OK reel.
Feels cheaply made and handle moves too much left-right but otherwise work well.
alexander : Wow what a p.o.s
The bearings in the rail blow out and pop out of the rail cheap plastic straight up garbage on my second one fart one got a new one returning the second one as well
Wayne Bennett : Great Reel.
A great reel. I’ve used it several times and it is holding up well. Smooth operation. Quality material.
Chicken Paw Chef : Excellent reel! Well built
Excellent reel ! Well built, casts very good for spincast reel and seems to have a decent drag system. I bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it.
JS Goatman : Bought for my wife
I bought this for my wife who prefers closed reels. The operation of the reel is very smooth. It seems that a lot of closed reels don't function well after a while where the line seems to get snagged inside or the mechanism fails to pick up the line when you reel in. So far no problems with this one. The quality of the construction seems to be better than others. After this purchase I bought myself a Pflueger open faced spinning reel as well that I am very happy with.
Gloria D. : Good drag very dependable.
Well built reel. Cost more but will out last the cheaper spin casting reel on the market.
Sonny : very well built
nicely made and solid without the wieght
Richard : Not a good buy.
Just bought it and it’s junk already. Sounds like gravel is in it when you reel it in.
R Cunningham : Handle Keeps Coming Loose!!
I Have used this reel a few times and the handle keeps coming loose. I tightened it really tight 3 times and it still keeps coming LOOSE!! I got Mad last time as It was only a couple dozen cast and the handle was wobbling all over the place. I got it home and sure enough the bolt that holds the handle on was loose AGAIN. This time I took it out,wiped the threads down and put LOCK TIGHT on it. I tightened it REALLY TIGHT AGAIN!!! I hope this does the trick. I have not used it since I have done this. Time will tell. Pflueger really needs to own this FLAW as I See it's a common problem with this reel. SHAME ON THEM as they keep making and selling them with this well known flaw. Take Peoples money and run. The smoothness of the reel is ok BUT!! what good is a reel when the handle falls off during your fishing adventures? Google It And see for yourself, They say the hexagon on the handle will strip out too, another common problem with these reels. Oh did I mention the PLASTIC push button breaks all the time too. Can't WAIT!! I ordered a new button JUST IN CASE it happens while fishing. Looks Like I Better Take A Tool Box Too!!!
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.

R : This reel came prespooled with 10lb test mono
This reel is fantastic! I paired it with an Okuma Cerros 7' MEF for finess walleye fishing and it performed better than expected. The reel is a little heavy for me because I'm used to Pflueger Patriarchs but seves its purpose well.
uncleE : Decent reel
like the casting ease. Casts well and a fair distance with larger lures.
Is sometimes difficult to reel in the line. I have to further investigate this and use it some more in order to give a more accurate report of this. Just doesn't "feel right" at times
itchy aids : Lacking in quality and Customer service
Opened the box and my first impression was WOW. This reel feels nice in the hands, and was very heavy for the size. I assumed this meant good build quality and metal not plastic parts. After the first trip of fishing the handle just about fell off. So ..okay I wanted to change up to some lighter 2lb test for the next trip and then I could tighten it up no problem. Second cast on the new line yielded a zero distance flop in my face, so i let some line out and tried again and it got out 15ft. then dropped like a rock. So i stretched and re-wound with zero improvement. So i went up to 8lb mono and it worked again. But now the handle has lots of side -to side play and feels loose while reeling. Checked the screw and behold it was loose again. As i inspected the parts and went through to grease and oil the gears / bearings i noticed the red paper washer for the handle was ripping in half. I contacted Customer support through Amazon and still haven't gotten a response (2 weeks ago). I wanted to really love this reel so after i shimmed the washer with paper motherboard washers, I bought 4lb and 6lb kast king fluro-carbon for rocky river trout fishing. The reel went back to internal crap and wouldn't cast either line no matter how many times i re-spooled with tension, with no tension, with pre-stretching, or without. I even tried 10lb and 20lb braid and lol that was a waste of an hour. So back to 8lb mono and spooled with good tension it finally cast again, but guess what .. the handle was falling off and the washer was toast. I had my 74 year old Dad look at it and he laughed and said look at my Pflueger and pointed to where it said made in the USA, then directed me to mine where it says made in china/. Also gave me advice on a spincast reels and says if that is the style you want then you better stick with zebco. Contacted customer support again to no response.

Amazon Customer : Excellent reel
I love them. If you want get away from high end zebco. Try one. My wife is slaying fish on a 1990’ bcm all star
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.
lay opinion : OK reel.
Feels cheaply made and handle moves too much left-right but otherwise work well.
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.
scott : Broke with little use.
Handle broke after about a month. Only used about 4 or 5 times. The screw that holds the handle on broke sheared in half. Gonna try to warranty it so hopefully they will replace it.
Linda B. Fox : Ease of use
Smooth product!!
A. Lacy : Well worth it.
Great little reel. Super smooth
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!
George F Abbott : Pflueger made the Difference.
A great reel not one problem ! This is the first closed faced reel that I have confidence in using. I have always stayed away from closed faced reels in the past.
Sandra K. : Choose another
Seemed like good quality.... drag barely works
David J. : Great bait casting reel
I am very impressed with this reel! Very smooth cast. It bought 2 and 1 was excellent, the other I had to restring and no problems since then.
Jon Breed : Not as good as I had hoped.
Heavy, yes, but about the same experience as any other spincaster I have used. And this one catches during the cast when the line goes out about 30 feet. Overall, meh. My experience with the President open bale reels has been excellent.
Wayne Bennett : Great Reel.
A great reel. I’ve used it several times and it is holding up well. Smooth operation. Quality material.
Duane Viegas : Great reel
If I ever need another reel I will get Pflueger President Spincast Fishing Reel. It works great, I've been using it for several months now, never had a problem. Smooth casting, drag is easy to operate with thumb, retrieve is smooth and fast. Glad I got it, I go fishing almost every week so it's getting a workout.
Amazon Customer : Excellent reel
I love them. If you want get away from high end zebco. Try one. My wife is slaying fish on a 1990’ bcm all star
Michael I Donahue : Quality gift!
She really likes it!
H. L. King : This Is A Surprisingly Good Reel For The Money
This is seems to be a high quality reel. For the price I expected more along the lines of a plastic Zebco, but this baby is nearly all metal. Haven't had a chance to try it yet as cleaning up a decrepit farm and renovating the farmhouse are keeping me away from the pond. :/
Wayne Bennett : Great Reel.

MG34 : My wife loves this reel!!!
Wife loves this reel, smooth easy to fish with, hauls in the big fish!
ByBry : Excellent Reel
Nice and smooth for casting and reeling back in. Very well made.
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.
Kelley C. Karnes : Flat slings a lure
This thing will cast a country mile
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.
Were should I put it : Get that big one
My first fish I caught with this was 25 and 1/2 inches long and weighed 5 lb a big old catfish and everything went well
