pfluegar rods?

[kriso]

was talking to mossops tackle at the gabba about soft plastic rods and reels he recommened on my budget (not alot) a pfluegar trion and daiwa exceler im pretty sure that was the reel name. has any one used these products and give me some feed back as to how they proformed?

cheers Kriso;)

I havn't used either personally, but my brother has a Pfluegar trion and it is a great rod. I would reccomend it.

The Daiwa exceler has a good reputation.

If I was you I would wait a little while. I think it's Ando_4 who's selling some good cheap rods at the moment. Give him a PM, he may have some more!

Good luck

have used pflueger trion baitcasters for barra and they seem to work fine very nice for the money

Kriso, I have been fishing (saltwater plastics and freshwater bait) with a Trion 3-6kg 2 piece for about 6 months now, great value for money. Light tip, but quite stiff in mid section. Mine's matched with a Penn Captiva 2000 and balances pretty well.

I reckon Shultzy would be able to tell you more about these rods.

hey KrisoB) , I have a pflueger trion 7ft 2-4kg light fast action 2 piece matched with a trion gx7 reel spooled with 4 kg and its a nice little outfit. But as Rocket said a bit light in the tip, grunty in the middle, i guess it does it's job well. You know when your hooked up. But thats what light gear is all about.

On the other hand i have a penn pin point tournament 6'10 inch (smaller lighter)one piece matched with a shimano slade 1000fb spooled with 2kg and i find i always grab that one before the pflueger. Don't ask me why:blink: .. personal preference. Mate, just buy a few is my answer... You can never have too much fishing gear!:woohoo:

[kriso]

thanks for the info boys, sards your still alive mate i thought ya disappeared for good!

[Master Sardines]

narhh matey, just been busy with work and will be tied up for a bit longer. After Chrissy I'll be out and about a bit more.

i have a 2 year old pfluger combo its nice to use but i find the handle a little slim for a large hand and the chrome on the reel handle fell of very quickly nothing else has gone wrong at all its been very smooth and reliable:)

I have 2 exceler reels 1 in a 1500(2kg braid) and the other is the exceler plus in the 3000(5kg braid), i have had no complaints with either, and both work well.

I have a GX-7 Reel and its great for the money. Have never used a pflueger rod but used a couple of reels and they are great for around the $80 mark.

the daiwa exeler is a pretty decent - they are a real 4 reel and once you use a reel 4 one you dont really wanna use anything else - just my opinion
