<p>If you're looking for a true top-of-the-line reel, the Pflueger® Patriarch® Spinning Reel is, more than ever, The Smart Choice™ for lightweight performance. Its featherlight magnesium frame and body deliver an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, but the innovation doesn't stop there. The skeletonized, braid-ready aluminum spool shaves off unneeded mass; the solid titanium main shaft is 30% stronger yet 43% lighter than stainless steel, and the machined-aluminum main gear adds even more support to this reel's relentless lightweight program. Overall, this reel has an almost effortless feel to it, and with its Total Line Control System technology, it's equally adept whether spooled with braid, mono, or fluorocarbon. The Patriarch's premium 11-bearing (10+1) system features XCR shielded, friction-free, corrosion-resistant stainless steel ball bearings plus instant anti-reverse; sealed carbon drag; carbon fiber handle for lightweight leverage.
