I picked out what I want

[jooleyen]

Hey all. I just got back from Cabela's. The two reels I were considering were the Quantum Accurist PT and the Pflueger President. I loved them both, but the drag on the Quantum was like sandpaper, but not to that extreme. Maybe like paper rubbing paper. The Pflueger's drag was much smoother. My hands arent big enough yet to palm the Pflueger comfortabaly. Are the reels' drags bad because they'd been used so much, or is that just how an Accurist's drag is?

My favorite rod there was a 7' Heavy Shimano Crucial rod. It was amazing how sensitive and light the rod was. What do you think about these rods?

The total if I got a Pflueger reel w/ the rod would be $280.00.
The guy said he's give me a 25% discount so its about $210.

What do you guys think about this setup? My main concern is the reels. It's really hard to pick. The only reason I'm not picking the Quantum is because of the drag.


Thanks -
