pflueger vs shimano spinning reels President XT Reel and machined aluminum gear Pflueger Trion 25 Spinning Reel

Airflo Switch Black Cassette Fly Reel + 4 Spare Spools Product Description The Airflo Switch Black Cassette Reels have been built to the same design as the Switch Pro reel, but instead of a fully machined body, the Switch Black reel features a die cast frame, allowing us to offer you the same stunning features as the Pro, but at a truly unbelievable price

While some anglers actually like the glass rods (in part because they prevent them from making premature hook sets on short-striking fish), I prefer a more sensitive composite rod because it gives me a better read on what my bait is doing

The reel is truly a piece of art, and despite being tasked with guide-level abuse for a full season, it looks no worse for wear
