We probably sell more Pflueger reels than just about anybody. It's not only the beginners who like them because of their low price, but many folks who've been around for years prefer them.

They're simple, classy and inexpensive. Many bamboo folks use them on very expensive rods! And . . . an expensive reel will NOT make you a better fisherman! I say buy an inexpensive reel and invest the savings in a trip.

I would bet that more fish have been caught, and landed, using a Pflueger Medalist reel than any other reel ever made.
