Why is it that every time I type the word "Pflueger" I'm not quite sure that I've spelled it correctly?

Just before the snow started to fly I bought a 5/6 Trion and the purchase was based solely on the way it felt/worked in my hand while I was messing with it at the sales counter. I was totally impressed with the function and the aesthetics of the thing ... so much so that I went back a month later and bought another in the 3/4 size.

Quick question ... I rarely see any comment about those reels on any website or FF bulletin board. Are there any experienced FF's out there who'd care to comment on the reels? (I'm a relative newbie who's been using a couple of totally-adequate $140 rod/reel/line packages.)

I'm not looking for someone to validate my decision ... just feedback on the reel's performance ... its strengths, foibles, overall reputation ...

I mostly trout fish in small/medium rivers in the foothills of the Rockies in SW Alberta ... the Crowsnest area.

BTW, I've upgraded to some nice used rods to match the Trions.

Many thanks,

Ron
