For starters, the thing looks sharp! Looks aren't really as important to me as functionality, but I had to mention the craftsmanship. It's gorgeous! It is very light weight as well, and built with quality parts. This thing is durable, quiet, smooth, and handles everything I throw at it. Caught five fish my first day out, and they came in smooth as silk.
I had a feeling I would like it when I ordered it. As I mentioned before, I had read multiple reviews about it. However, it was hard to believe it was actually that good for the price. It just IS, and I did not expect the quality and performance that I'm getting out of this! I have about 15 rod and reel combos, and this is one of the favorites now.
Do yourself a favor and just buy it... It's kinda feels like finding $100 laying on the ground. It's that good in my opinion!
Obviously, at their price, they are NOT the best spinning reel one can buy. My Shimano Stratic's and Shimano Vanfords are certainly superior reels - but also cost three times as much! Whether they perform three times better than the Pfluege President model - the answer is a resounding NO, not three times better or even two times better.
For somebody just getting into fishing but who wants a reliable, decent quality reel that is going to last and not disappoint, I can recommend these most highly.
My only complaint with the reels is that they used to come with a spare spool - which was great as it allowed one to have 2 spools with different line on each, for fast and easy change-outs. My recommendation to Pflueger is to market spare spools (or of course, better yet to include a spare one in the box).
Secondly, I would like to see Pflueger indicate on the reel the size reel that it is, in an easy to see and visible location. Since I have multiples of these reels in many different sizes, this would be very helpful. Especially for fishing trips when rods/reels are broken down for transport - it helps to avoid putting the wrong sized reel onto a rod - only to realize this after getting on the water. Because the reels themselves, physically are not too different in physical size (at least at the 3000 and below size levels), this would be very helpful and appreciated (I am assuming by others as well).
But to end this, YES, I highly recommend these reels. They punch way above their LIST price point. If you find them on sale, by them in multiples!

The smoothness of this reel is Fantastic. The bail movement is smooth, making casting and retrieving a breeze.
What really stands out is the drag system. It's not only smooth but also gives a satisfying feel when you're fighting a fish. This level of control and reliability is exactly what I was looking for in a reel. It also holds up to cold weather well and doesn't freeze up like some cheaper reels would in -10c or below
Overall, I am extremely pleased with the Pflueger President 500. It's a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable reel for ice fishing without breaking the bank. The performance it delivers for its price point is impressive, and I'm excited to make the most of my ice fishing trips with this reel.
