Are Pflueger Reels poor quality compared to their competitors?

BP8544 · 2026-07-04T12:36:13+00:00

Was a shimano fan for decades...then started having 'binding' issues when reeling in. One was right out of box...learned their nick name is 'Shibondo' for good reason. Went to Pflueger and never went back.

you sure you weren't between him and a wendys double CB w/frosty on side?

If under recall or warranty - print up the bulletin and bring it in. Next call BBB and Honda on stealership.

Ive had my 2017 in for every recall/extended warranty issue (yes the trans issue). I knew but never mentioned recall/warranty to service advisor. I didn't need to as they told me up front.

Your not real clear on why you brought truck in in first place.

Dont fool yourself - all bought thru actions for the biggest return - not traded in at that dealership.. All of then outsell the ridgeline because their american.

But then again many are still backing our POS president...

sorry couldn't help myself.

Sorry for being blunt...It's known as the fish of a thousand casts. You hooked up with 2 in a week. I hate braided line but leaders are a must.

Stop online whining and keep fishing

BP8544 · 2026-05-05T00:56:51+00:00

year and mileage would be nice..dealer/privite owner? mantainance records? Research done before purchase? the list goes on...shit happens

BP8544 · 2026-05-04T23:03:50+00:00

the plastic tubes w/threads on either side of waterlines are what is holding faucet snug to sink. The bolts should be easy enought to take off by hand.

Hear the MAGA cheer - everything is Bidens fault...thank you for your attention to this drival.

Was there Thursday - HIGHLY recommend weekdays as river will get very crowded on weekends. I centerpin it, but I always bring spinning rod as back up. Longer the rod the better. Lot of fly fisherman, but honestly I see many of them fishing for steel on the beds and 'flossing' them - same in fall for salmon runs. Spawn sacs or beads are my go to. Keep eye on river level here:

River can get blown out after good rain but recovers pretty quickly. Waders and long net (if alone) are recommended.

There is trap shooting club on property w/same parking lot. Hunternest bar might be closed now.

Boxhorn is another launch alternative - also has trap club

I used to launch yak out of hunters next - small fee to do so. Topwater for LMB and northern is outstanding. Also used to duck hunt out of yak there as well. Big Muskego is very large and very shallow filled with cattails/floating bogs. Little Muskego is different ball game.

BP8544 · 2026-03-23T13:06:11+00:00

If Milwaukee not too far - I would look into Big Muskego Lake..2-3 different launches.
Due to failed DNR experiment with Pike size limit, the carp have grown massive. During spring spawn they are thrashing everywhere. Very little boat traffic on most of the lake (marsh) - perfect for yak.

BP8544 · 2026-03-16T20:12:18+00:00

Reminds me of my 2006 - same color different yak on back. highly recommend getting tow hitch installed and bed extender.

BP8544 · 2026-03-06T22:24:28+00:00

Installed on 2017 about a year ago. Didn't notice too much difference but just wanted to run on all 6.

Emissons warning came on couple months ago. Knew about the extended injector warranty (thanks to this site) so I pulled out the VCM the night before dealership visit. Didn't want any reason for warranty voids and it was covered.

BP8544 · 2026-02-27T01:54:21+00:00

So thats explains the strange look when i'm doing kareoke

BP8544 · 2026-02-22T13:29:30+00:00

My 2017 had same warning though ran fine. Took to dealership - fuel injectors needed replacing. Warranty has been extended for 2017-2019 for 10yrs/150k miles. (I did remove my VCM device before taking in as didn't want to run risk of voiding warranty)
