Smooth and durable
I'm a big freshwater fisherman and I target all species. I've reeled in 2 pounds crappies with this, 10 pound hybrid stripers and 15 pound northern pikes and it has yet to fail! I use 30 pound power pro braid and this combo can tackle anything. I have always been a pflueger fan and have owned many president reels and this is my favorite!
Thank you for your feedback

Ordered what was described as open box with minor cosmetic damage but this came with the handle stripped and missing the dust cover from the cork part so I sent back for full refund. Thank you for a great return policy on this one
