Pflueger President spinning reels are nice for the money. I also have President XT, Supreme and Supreme XT. I like my Daiwa BG better than any of the Pfluegers.

My Daiwa BGs continue to impress me. I find it fascinating that that level of quality can be had for such a low price point.

I picked up a couple of Kastking bait casters last fall......Love them they are smooth and cast great.....The price is good....

My spinning reels are Shimano Nascis and an older Stradic FJ that I’ve used for years. There’s a lot of great stuff out there...I’ve fished Shimanos for 25 years.
America, Our Country and we’re taking it back.

I just picked up two Shimano Sedonas, size 30. Smooth as silk. $60 each on Ebay. Its amazing watching the progress on spinning reels over the last decade. They just keep on getting smoother with not much of a price increase.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

In the last month I have purchased a Flueger supreme, a Flueger President XT, a Shimano Sedona, and a Shimano Sahara.
They typically are rated to spool from 140 yds of six pound mono, to a rating of 180 yds of 8# or 10# depending on the weight pole I am equipping. Most of the smaller reels are spooled with 8# power Pro braid, and I have spare sppols for some with 30# Power Pro braid. The heavier poles with the biggest reels for trolling a dypsey diver or heavy planer are full of 20# Fire Line.
The Flueger President XT is an $80 reel. My new one is the XP35X and is rated for 12 lb of drag and holds 185 yds of 8# mono, but is filled with 20# fireline for heavy trolling loads.
The Flueger Supreme is the SUPSP30X and is a $100 reel. This one is rated at 10 lb of drag and holds 145 yds of 6# mono. It is filled with 8# Power Pro and is mounted on a 7 foot medium lite graphite Cherrywood pole for casting #3 to #5 Mepps spinners, and trolling spinners or small Rapalas behind the boat for trout.
It is quickly becoming my favorite outfit.
I have no complaints with the new or old Shimano Sedonas I own. A couple are close to ten years old. They have mostly been used for light trolling duties for kokanee or rainbow trout. The Sedona is priced just a bit less than the Flueger President.
Bass Pro dot com is not a bad place to reel shop, even if you do not purchase from Johny Morris. The reel specifications are well laid out and easy to read.
