Pflueger Patriarch Spinning Reel

The Pflueger Patriarch Spinning Reel was already top-of-the-line, and the updated Pflueger Patriarch Reel advances the model with an even more lightweight design. The revamped Patriarch Pflueger fishing reel offers greater weight savings and durability from its magnesium frame and body, while the solid titanium main shaft helps maintain the freshwater reel's strength. A skeletonized braid-ready aluminum spool reduces weight, as does the carbon handle. A visually noticeable change from the prior version is the switch from an EVA knob to a cork handle knob. Another update is moving away from the 10-bearing system of its predecessor; this Plueger spinning reel now boasts 11 bearings with XCR ball bearings for smooth cranking and fighting.

All models in the Patriarch spinning reel series deliver a carbon fiber drag and an instant anti-reverse feature, plus the improved versions now offer a faster 6.2:1 gear ratio. Pflueger Patriarch Reels effortlessly lay line evenly on the spool. Their Total Line Control System gives anglers complete control over their lines – mono, braid, and even fluorocarbon. All this attention to detail and its sophisticated presence show that Pflueger's big daddy still has it. The revised Pflueger Patriarch Spinning Reel deserves a closer look!
