PFlueger, not bad value for money
Dunno bout the rods but bought a pflueger spin reel used it only a couple of times and had bearing probs, Never again wasn't a cheap reel either, I have had good runs with okuma & shimano.

Have you got one Captain?
A bloke that owns a tackle shop that is on TV all the time told me they were Shakespear...
A bloke that owns a fishing shop up the road said they werent...
Either way they look ok, for the money, no doubt!
I chose Daiwa!!
i have 2 phugluers a G40L that i have spooled with 80lb mono on a 24 kg shakesper powerpiont and a phugluer G30L that i have spooled with 50 lb on a phuguer 15 to 24 kg rod and all level drags and have had no probs whats so ever and find the G40L great on big reefies

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges
Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)
Not sure what model, but had a graphite spinning rod. Paid about $100 for it, had no troubles pulling in 8kg's of Long TailOriginally Posted by Simmo2

Ok in summery
Pflueger is owned by shakespeare and marketed as there top end gear
Good rods, have some, happy with them recommend them
Reels sub standard in light spin and better quality overheads, stick with daiwa, shimano penn.
pfulger trion and trion tournaments are good excpt for that i wouldnt touch them
stick with penn,shimano and daiwa
GO DAIWA
Ive got a pfluger trion baitcaster that im happy with and a mate has the trion spinning reel which he also likes. both of us have pulled some nice trevelly and barra and both the rods and the reels have performed well.
I have an echelon b/caster and its a great little bass reel.
Both my dad and my brother have pflueger bream specialist rods (1-3kgs) and they are great performers and look awesome too...
Dad also has a pflueger trinity eggbeater, very smooth and nice looking reel.
I regard pflueger as a highly good brand and have not had any problems with any of the gear we have.
cheers barra
Pflueger are actually pretty good for the money, the rods are great. Not top of the line stuff but up there with Berkley drop shots etc. I have only limited experience with their reels, but i would hardly call my supreme spin 40 sub standard. Out of the box the drag was pretty ordinary but after lapping the the drag washers flat it has become a real favorite. So much so i find my self using it more than my Diawa SOL. It has caught plenty of fish from a big brissie river threadfin to little tuna in the bay. It has a nice quick 6 to 1 gear ratio and I'm just itching to get stuck into the spotties with it when they turn up. How long will it last? I'm not sure, but it is doing pretty well for harsh life that it has lived for the last 9 odd months i have had it. I have also read some good reviews of there higher priced bait casters (patriarch, supreme, president etc) but have no personal experience with them.
Thats my 2 cents anyhow

i use a 7 foot trion 1to3 kg for catchin bream on lures and it is great value for money as for the reels i only use shimmano
Thanks for your replies everyone i might have to invest in one to try.
cheers tassie JR
i have a pflueger allusion. its the same reel as the echelon but a special addition with better paint job and an extra bearing and a pflueger graphite rod... awsome bass rig good value for money giv it a go!!!
I use a Pflueger trion baitcaster, pulled stacks of fish with it and give it an absolute floggin. I've had no problems at all with it. I've just put a Chronarch reel on mine.
My young blokes birthday is coming up and I was thinking of getting a little Pflueger spin stick for his bass fishing.
Good gear
