Pflueger President Spinning Combo

The Pflueger President Spinning Combo has earned its reputation as "The Smart Choice™" by delivering genuine performance and reliability at a price that makes quality spin fishing accessible to every angler. Whether you're targeting trout on the Roaring Fork River, casting spinners for bass in Ruedi Reservoir, or working jigs for perch on a Colorado lake, the President Combo gives you the tools to fish effectively without compromise.

President Spinning Reel

The heart of the combo is the Pflueger President spinning reel, one of the most trusted reels in its class. A 9+1 stainless steel bearing system (6+1 on the 20 size) delivers the smooth, consistent retrieve that makes long days on the water enjoyable and productive. The lightweight graphite body and rotor keep overall weight low without sacrificing rigidity, and the aluminum braid-ready spool accepts monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided line straight from the spool — no backing required with braid.

Pflueger's Total Line Control System is a standout feature that sets the President apart from reels in its price range. By reducing line twists and wind knots — the two most common frustrations in spinning tackle — the TLC system keeps your line performing consistently cast after cast. The aluminum handle with soft-touch knob provides a comfortable, non-slip grip during extended fishing sessions.

Sensitive, Lightweight Rod

Paired with a lightweight, sensitive spinning rod, the President Combo translates subtle strikes and bottom composition directly to your hand. Available in 6'6" Medium Fast for techniques requiring backbone and sensitivity — jigging, drop-shotting, and working reaction baits — and 6'6" Light/Moderate for finesse presentations with lighter lures and line, the rod selection covers the most productive spin fishing techniques on Colorado waters.

Versatile for Colorado Fishing

The President Combo's balanced design handles a wide range of techniques and species — from ultralight trout fishing on mountain streams to medium-power bass and walleye applications on larger reservoirs. It's the ideal first combo for new anglers and a reliable backup or dedicated technique rod for experienced fishermen.
