poor rod, June 16, 2009
By bulldawg4621 from warner robins, ga

"purchased the pflueger president xt spinner 2500 and pflueger 6'6" graphite combo for a great price of $79.99. great spinner, smooth and strong, however, rod tip snapped first time out landing a 4 lb bass. highly recommend the spinner but stick with the ugly stick rod. 25 yrs and no breaks with ugly sticks."

You Can't Go Wrong..., May 12, 2009
By AnythingThatBites from Accokeek, MD

"... with a Pflueger! I can't speak for the XPS rod; I bought the true combo with the Pflueger President rod and reel and it is everything one could want or need. I've thrown 300 dollar bait casting reels that don't compare to this one. The look and feel of it are "it"! Now all three of my go-to combos are Pflueger; it has made that kind of impact. I'm sure it will for you as well."

"this reel is amazing. only had to oil it once in 2 years because the bearings were getting noisy and the line roller wasn't working smoothly. got some line twist but the oiling helped. casts great and the drag is good too. i fish in lots of weeds and it is strong enough to pull in a four pounder and lots of weeds. easy to use"

Great combo!, June 1, 2008
By NKram622 from Conyers, GA

"This is an excellent combo! For the ones who want to spend a little time you should look at seperate pricing as sometimes with the sale you can find a better price. I would highly recommend the reel but spend the little extra and upgrade to the Pro Qualifier rod. You will really be much happier."

GREAT COMBO, March 4, 2008
By BASSkicker from SAN JOSE, CA

"THIS IS GREAT COMBO FOR THE PRICE. THE REEL LOOKS GREAT AND HANDLES WELL. IT HAS A TOUGH AND RUGGED FRAME THAT DOES NOT FLEX UNDER THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY A HUGE LARGEMOUTH. IT CASTS WELL AND HAS A SILKY SMOOTH RETRIEVE. NO MAINTENENCE NEEDED, ITS READY TO FISH RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.!!!"

Excellent combo, March 2, 2008
By BASSFISHINGMASTERMIKEY from sterling heights Michigan

"This combo is simply one of the best combos around today. The rod is very sensitive, it is balanced perfectly, and the guides are very strong. The reel is very smooth, the bail flipping system is excellent, and the anti-reverse system works very well.

Overall this is a great combo,
I would recommend it to anyone.

"No way can you go wrong with this combo. The reel is the smoothest I have ever used and the rod has some real backbone. The first day I got it I took it out and could not believe how much work it took out of fishing. Great balance and a weight you can fish all day without killing your back. Try it!"

It goes without saying..., October 21, 2007
By "D" from Crestview, Florida

"You can't go wrong with this combo. Some things you need to be aware of though. The butt screw-on foam piece will work itself loose from hand and body friction the more you fish so just tighten it down from time to time. You also have to take care not to use gorilla strength when tightening down the reel into the seat (any cork will crack with enough tension). Like most things, human error plays a big role in success or failure. This combo is very popular, and with good reason. With the proper care and applicatons(properly matching gear to scenarios), you will get years of reliable service from this combo."
