I have the president model on my Walleye rods and loved them. So, I saw the UL on sale and thought "huh - these might work good for a UL trout set up". They actually work ok for tiny spinners/slower current. But I definitely need more pick up speed for rapalas and faster current. And they are not even close to the quality of the better models. Sigh. I guess I'll be doing my part to support the tackle industry! Live and learn.

Exactly what I thought when I bought two of the $30 Pfluegers (an ultralight for trout and ice-fishing and a medium light for walleye) a few years ago: "If the President is great, then a Pflueger for half the price must be half as good!" crazy I know we are not the only people who made that mistake.

I definitely prefer Pflueger 67 and 69 series reels to their equally-priced Shimano counterparts, but the newer $30 Sienna 1500/2500 line from Shimano beats the $30 Pfluegers hands-down, if you want to try something different in a more moderate price range.
