Overview
Delivering ultra lightweight performance thanks to its magnesium body and rotor, the Pflueger Patriarch Spinning Reel still dishes out plenty of power with its 5.2:1 gear ratio and solid titanium main shaft. Nine XCR corrosion resistant bearings in key locations also provides fluid casts and retrieves, and an instant anti-reverse bearing ensures rock solid hooksets with zero backplay.
A sealed carbon drag system dishes out serious fish fighting power and stays smooth throughout its range, and a lightweight carbon handle with a durable EVA knob delivers excellent winding power. Pflueger has been designing and engineering quality reels since 1881, and the tradition continues with the Pflueger Patriarch Spinning Reel.

Comments: I have been using Pflueger spinning reels for about 6 years, started with a small President for my trout setup, then bought a President XT 2500 for finesse bass. I liked it but, it wasn't the quality I was looking for, so I bought a Supreme XT 3500. It has been my 'heavy duty' bass rod. Keep it spooled with 20-30 lb. braid. I don't use any baitcasting reels so this serves as my topwater reel for frogs, whopper ploppers, and spooks. Also been used saltwater surf fishing a few times with no issue after a simple rinse. I finally went for the Patriarch 3500 last spring and paired it with a St. Croix Mojo Bass and it is my favorite setup. Extremely versatile, smooth, looks nice. Caught both my PB bass on these reels. Smallmouth 5lb-3oz on the Supreme XT and Largemouth 6lb-3oz on the Patriarch spring 2019, both in public waters in NJ. Haven't had any issues. Both the Supreme XT and Patriarch are high quality reels in my opinion.

Comments: Pflueger hands down the best spinning reel in the market. I've tried other reels at this price point. But this Patriarch is top the line. I have 3 set ups in spinning. All Pflueger for my finesse, drop shot, wacky rig set ups. Cast great and very smooth reeling in. When it comes to spinning reels I trust Pflueger.

Comments: Light weight, smooth with a nice smooth drag. Hard to beat at this price point IMHO. Heads up, be careful when taking spool off and be mindful of washer stack under spool. Some of which might stick to spool.
