Rated 5 out of 5 by DrPhilGood from My first Pflueger experience I just purchased this as a replacement for my everyday bassin' rod. It is a truly high quality reel, for a reasonable budget price. I highly recommend this reel for braided line, as it seems to perform beautifully for me so far. Took a little getting used to, for me to get accustomed to the fast retrieval rate, but once you do, you can really get a smooth even retrieve at any speed. I adore the cork knob aswell, as it seems to always be raining here in late summer Pennsylvania, I never lose grip of it even while fighting a big bass. I also like that you get the carbon fibre shaft, on a sub $100 dollar reel. Pricey features on a budget.

Rated 1 out of 5 by AntonM from Terrible Warranty Service I ordered the XT25 model for my ultra light rod. After the unboxing I noticed a slight grinding noise., however I fished it a few times and it became very stiff and noisier. I checked on the website and it turned out that there is an authorized service shop near by. I brought the reel for repair under original warranty and it is been sitting there for the last 3 months, I called the repair shop owner at least 20 times and he is telling me that the is still waiting to receive parts. I understand that a defective unit could happen from time to time, but come on 3 months for a defective gear?

Rated 5 out of 5 by OrangeBeachChris from Awesome workhorse reel I won a few of these. They've been a great value and very dependable. The drag system is great and the reels stay smooth with very little maintenance. For sub $100 reels, they've held up in saltwater very well. I highly recommend these.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Robbie05718 from Poor product even poorer service. Purchased this reel a month ago. Allow me to preface with, like many anglers, I'm very thorough in my preparation the day before a fishing trip. Rod, check, reel, check. As I reached my location, I proceeded to pull out my rod and make the first cast of the day, only to recognize the handle had fell off with the opposite end fastened tightly. When I called to receive a new handle, not only did the representative, essentially blame me for the handle falling off, but then I was quoted a $40 charge, FOR THE HANDLE.... on an $80 reel. It's very unfortunate because I did like the product but I will not spend a dollar to purchase something that was defected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Big Daddy NY from WIfe loves this reel, very impressed with it. Bought the XT 3000 for the Mrs. she is a bit hard on her gear she loves getting down in the weeds and is always pulling up half the reservoir by days end , reel is holding up like a champ! super smooth, very balanced, solid anti reverse, and bail lock up! I am very impressed with this reel (first time user)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Omega from Awesome Reel Love this reel and handles braid better than any other reel I've ever used! Use the 25 on my vertical jigging rod and love it. Other reels stranded me on a fishing trip, so I used it casting, trolling and of course bottom bouncing for late summer walleye. The 25 was underpowered for trolling and a little slow for casting, so I got the 35 and so for I love this too for the price of about $80!

Rated 5 out of 5 by willrisher07 from President XT Bought this gem a week ago and have already put it to good use. Pfluger has never disappointed me with their products. Excellent quality and attention to detail is how I would describe them, not to mention the fact of how affordable they are. I got a pflueger supreme 5 years ago and it still works great. So whether you're a beginner, casual, or a pro, you won't be disappointed.
