Comments: Simply amazing. I have had this reel for exactly a year.  No problems at all.  Super duper light.  When I started fishing I bought two pflueger trions.  I've had them for years and have never had a problem. Thats why I bought the patriarch, they are the most reliable reels I have ever fished. I dont feel that you can buy a better spinning reel than the patriarch.

Comments: As good as the Stella or Steez at 1/3 the price.  Oh yeah and it's lighter then both also.

Comments: I've had this reel out fishing 5 times now. I use the 4771 on a light action old Clarus rod. Great reel sofar. I do have a complaint about the metal spare spool. It has a significant sharp edge on top part from molding process i guess. I shouldn't have to file it down messing up the black paint on it.  Great reel with other 'main' spool. I think for 200 bucks this flaw should be fixed.

Comments:  Awesome reel to say the least, though the bail seems to have too much play in it even though the screws are tight. While I was testing one in the store, the bail spring sprung! May have been a lemon out of the batch because the one I bought has worked flawlessly for me. I spooled it with 6lb powerpro and put it on a 7' tica libra (medium) and can cast gulp with ease. Other than the loose bail, I have no complaints. Great reel for the money.

Comments: Once in a long while a super spinning reel comes on the market like the Stradic FH or the C14 Shimano for the dollar.  I have nine Stradics and two C14s.  I purchased two Pfleuger Patriarchs after Tackle Tours test reviews.   I wanted one on cosmetics alone, but only purchased two after the raving reviews.   I was blown away with the silken smoothness and all day fishing like a whisper in my hand.   After a year I can safely say....... BEST BANG FOR BUCK.  They will compare to much more pricey reels.  I know I have two Steeze.

Comments: Brake sensitivity adjustability could be better, very light and good handling, similair to shimano stradic

Comments: i recently bought 3 of these for a gret deal of $314.00 i couldnt be happier. i couldnt even feel the reel in my hand. there so light. GET THEM!!

From: Todd: Millbury, Mass

Comments: Have a 9525 spooled with 4lb PLine Fluoro Clear.  Love this little reel.  Its super light and smooth.  The sure clock bail completely blows away my Shimano reels.  Cant recommend this enough, I'll be slowly switching over to this reel for most of my spinning needs.

Comments: Supper Light... 1204771, couldnt be more pleased.

From: MSB: Canada

Comments: Awesome reel! Feels like a feather in my hands and the drag system is flawless!

From: Jr.: Milwaukee, WI

Comments: I had the $530 Daiwa Steez spinning reel before I purchased this one. After I felt this reel, I sold my Steez spinning reel because Daiwa continues to INCREASE their prices every year. I purchased two of these reels which are as smooth and light as the Steez and had over $100 to buy more tackle. I highly recommend this reel. It is quality.

From: Markell: Asheville, NC

Comments: Love this reel.  I bought the Revo Premier spinning before this one, but this one just feels better.  The anti-reverse switch is a little bigger on this reel and easier to find for when you need to backreel.  It's too small on many other brands of reels.  This Patriarch has less gear noise too.  It's really light and feels solid.  I would not buy another Revo Premier since I can get this reel for $50 less.

From: Hale: Tennessee, USA

Comments: I bought an oversize 35 series to combat line memory like the pros suggest.  My combo is with a BPS 6'9" MH Johnny Morris rod and it feels like a ultralight set up.  Not one knot yet this season.  I have been a Shimano man for years, now I am converted.

Comments: Bought 1 of these 2 months ago, retired my Quantum Energy PTi 20, this has Quantum beat, light weight, smooth bearings, good drag, awesome reel. You get what you pay for, can't compare it to Shimano's CI4 don't have one , sure its in the same performance, same price, i'm not a fan of Shimanos. I have this setup on my Lamiglass 702x rod dropshot, big difference is the weight, sometimes i can't tell if i'm reeling line in, its so smooth theres no feed back from bearings and drive train, no grinding or noise, you have to look down to see if you are still turning the handle. This one Pflueger made right, Quantum has some catching up to do.
