Title: Pflueger spinner - look what I found!!
Post by: BigT on July 28, 2010, 07:55:50 AM
Hi all,

I know that small spinners aren't really the main game for most of you but I just thought I'd share a little discovery from today....

I picked up a new reel that was reduced from AUD$300 to $90 (actually, I picked up 3 ;D).  A Pflueger Supreme XT... this one's the '35' model.

I opened it up to give it the 'pre-fishing' treatment and guess what I found???


Greased carbon fibre drag washers...

And a coat of blue grease on the internal surfaces...

Someone's taking notice, Alan ;)


Cheers, T

Nice.  I wish my other spinners had carbon drags right of the box.

I've been looking to replace my worn out 4300SS reels. I just seen this thread. This reel, looking past the good drag material is put together quite well for its intended use.
