Fishing Rods and Reels – Part #2

I am very fussy when it comes to the type of fishing reels I use. The Pflueger President has everything that I look for in a reel from its smooth reeling system to the durability every fisherman looks for. Lets face it, no serious fisherman likes it when he is floating the river and his 200$ reel blows apart. For this is a fisherman’s worst nightmare come true, your 5 miles down the river and the fishing is awesome, you’ve already landed 15 trout and then you hook into the fish of your dreams and your reel completely goes haywire. You then proceed to lose the trout and your mind, and spend the rest of the day watching your buddy catching your fish. Has this ever happened to you?

    This has also happend to me. Went to get a new reel because my drag is not working right.When I got to the store to get one of those pfluger reels you like so much,they had just sold the last six to some guy.(I can only guess it was you) so I got the next best thing , pfluger asaro. I went to the river, high and fast but just had to try it out. I was casting on a slower corner, one of my fav night time spots and bang i could tell it had some weight Love to send you some night time pics, the reel sang a couple of songs and the fish was in the net. Mission accomplished, reel works perfect no more loosing fish to a lousy drag system.Would love to send you some pics,I have got good at this night time fishing,(many many hours trying everything).Next is a new pole and then those trout better hide.

  2. Hey Ron, yeah bring those pictures on. Send them to my e-mail address at bowriverblog@gmail.com. And no I have never bought 6 reels at a time!!!!

    I have a few Pflueger Asaro reels myself and I think they are great also. A good deal for the price. So send your pic’s on over my way, lets have a look !!!

    Hey mike did you get my pics Im not to good at this computer thing, but i think I did it right.Catching some good fish lately but the water is a little hard to fish now, can’t wait for the water to drop a bit, Its hard to walk the bank in some places. Good luck with your guiding this summer and catch a big bruiser.

  4. Hello Ron, Yes I got the pictures from you no problem but my computer was down for the count for a week. I will do a short post on night fishing and add your picture into the post.

    Thanks so much for sharing your pictures with us here at the Blog. Hope you slay many more HOGGS soon.

    ~Mike.
