Reel replacement question

[silverroach]

I purchased an expensive Pfluger reel a couple of years ago it failed in 10 months of owning it and they replaced it. Less than a year after they have replaced it, it has failed again. Done with it, you guys got any suggestions for a really good smooth casting replacement. Thanks

My Daiwa Fugeo is still kicking like brand new almost 2 years in. It's been fished hard, but I also take the time to do the maintenance and she still is as smooth as ever.

You can also look at the amazon specials, there are a lot of members here that swear by them.

Shimano Sienna - Catana - Sahara - FX

Daiwa Revros - Laguna - QZ750 - QR750

Same issues with pflugers still usable but ruff as a cob!
Recently purchased a Daiwa Revros probably the smoothest and farthest casting reel that I’ve owned only had it out a couple trips so not sure how it will last but I’m very satisfied so far!

Any Daiwa reel in your budget would be good, but best bang for buck right now is new 2023 Legalis 2000S-P from Japan. It is equivalent or even better to new Daiwa Exceler Lt which sell at more expensive price. You can order from Amazon at cheaper price.
I also like Fugeo and have one in 2500 size for bass, this reel come with Magseal which add a little more inertia and harder to service. Just my 2 cents and I’m regular using Shimano Vanford, Daiwa ballistic FW and Daiwa Tatula MQ for crappie. I lost my Legalis not long after got it to a unexpected bigger fish.

Curious as to what "expensive Pfluger" you have that failed. I'm currently running the President line with no significant issues, sorry I can't offer up any options based on real world experience.

I dont want to hijack from the OP but i have two higher end Pflueger reels fail. One was a 2022 xt and the other was a 2023 xt. I do fish them hard.

Take a look at the Shimano Nasci. Best reel i have owned by far.
