I have a BUNCH of Pfleuger spinning reels... sitting on the junk shelf.

I'ld go with a Shimano Sahara, Symetre, Stradic (or better) or a Daiwa SS
Whisker Tournament reel. I actually prefer the Daiwa, but some people do
not like the location of the physical roller stop. They do hold up well for
me which is more than I can say for the Pfleugers I have. They also have
really good geometry for casting light baits. I've got several 1600s and a
few 1300s.

I went with Shimano Sahara, cheap but good.

I've got one Sahara and its not a bad reel, and has held up well. Its on
one of the rods I lend to beginners who fish with me. I don't think its
gemoetry is as good as the Daiwa SS Whisker Tournament reels, but that could
just be personal taste.

Josh, If you want an inexpensive reel, I've had luck with Quantum. I fish
an 8 acre farm pond and have thrown a 3 inch grub up to a Jointed Jitterbug
with ease. I fish 4-5 times a week and it's held up for a couple years
already.

I whole heartedly agree that Quantum makes some great stuff, the problem is
they also make some cheap stuff for sale in the discount box stores. When
it comes to "you get what you pay for" Quantum is a perfect example. Their
mid and high price suff is excellent. I've got more than a dozen of their
bait casting reels, and you can't get a better flipping reel than the
AC500CX for less than a hundred bucks. Even over a hundred my next step is
just to the AC500PT for 119.

BUT (note the large but) you can't go done to Wally Rolled or K-Barf and get
a great reel for 29.95. On the flip side, I have to say even the 29.95
Quantum Snapshot fishes well for a while. Better than some other cheap
reels I have tried. Its a good choice for a once a year for only on his
vacation type angler. I gave all my old ones to my dad and he thinks they
are great for his once or twcie a year fishing outing.

All Symetre and Sahara here. But I do like the Pflueger trion Baitcaster,
and my Pflueger Purist Baitcaster is ok until it gets cold.

I've got Trion and Supreme spinners and they just didn't hold up.

I recently replaced 2 bearings in a top of the line Pflueger spinner for my
buddy. He's had it for a couple of years and used it in the salt one time.
He said he rinsed it. It used a non standard bearing that was not easy to
get.

Josh...I'm 56 years old and Pfleuger has never been considered as a 'good'
reel so far as I can remeber. It has always been considered a 'cheap' reel,
ever since I was a kid. Go with Shimano. Darned good reels. I prefer them
over the Daiwa. I haven't tried the Quantum series yet but they look like a
good reel for the money.

One of the things I ran into with the Pflueger spinning reels was if they
got dunked the lubricant just all seemed to float away instantly. You could
literally start feeling the damage within 20 casts or so.
