I have it on my t-3 6 wt and it is every bit as good a reel as many 200. plus reels.The drag is flawless and the finish is great and these reels are rugged.

Alaska -- wow man I'm jealous....whereabouts? Yeah it does seem a little ridiculous to drop crazy amounts of $$ on a reel, especially on the lighter fish when the reel is mostly just line storage.

Alaska — wow man I’m jealous….whereabouts?

Well, I started out as a fly fisher at the age of 8. I have been fly fishing now for over 40 years. I have been using my Trion 1978 for 4 seasons here in Alaska and I have no complaints. My Trion was a gift from my wife. I see that there are reels that go for 5 times the price, but in terms of performance, I haven't figured out why I need to spend $500 on a fly reel. Sure, I bet those top shelve reels have a lot to offer, but so does my Trion 1978. I wanted a second spool for my Trion 1978. Finding gold in Alaska turned out to be easier. The price of a new Summit was about the same as the price of a new spool for the Trion, so rather than pull my hair out trying to find a deal on the extra spool, I just cracked my piggy bank and got a Summit 1678. If there is a better deal out there than the Summit, I would sure like to hear about it. Some day, when I go for Steelhead, I am going to take along my Medalist 5/6 and try it. I be it will handle it. Hi:

After using my Pflueger, he traded in his Sage reel for the Summit 1656 and won't go back. In my opinion, the Sage reels (and most fly reels, for that matter) are often highly overpriced; segregating an entire population demographic from enjoying this great sport!!. The Pflueger fly reels (Trion, President and Summit) are perfect examples that you can get a HIGH quality, aluminum reel, for less than the big "brand names" charge. If you're trying to decide between the Sage and the Pflueger....go with the Pflueger!!

How do the Pflueger ones compare? I’ve got a buddy who was one of the designers of the Sage fly reels and swore up & down about them. How do the Pflueger ones compare?
