Rated 5 out of 5Â by RainbowWrecker Best reel for the cost ever
I love this reel it by far superior to many reels that I have paid much more for. It casts very smooth and retrieves even smoother. For the cost you'll be very hard pressed to find a better reel.

if it is only for crappies the gx7's little brother woulbe fine

A:Â
the smaller ones 4720 or 4730 would be your best bet. just make sure you're using a spinning rod. for a casting rod, pflueger makes a closed face panfish reel.Details:Â
I don't plan on buying this reel, but in general, would a braid line work for this type of reel? Because I hate baitcasters, the birds nest drives me crazyAnswers
A:Â
i use high vis yellow power pro and it works great for jigging eyes and casting at night for eyes and i use a 3 ft leader for bothA:Â
I use 30lb. power pro braid on this reel when I'm fishing reefs and flats and have no problems. I keep mono on one spool and braid on the other, it's a quick swap when you need to.
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
yes but I don't recommend it. If you want to use braid, you need to cover the spool with mono, then tie a clinch knot to connect the mono to the braid. if you want a braid-ready reel. Take a look at the Phlueger President. It is about $20 more than the Trion, but is totally worth the money.Details:Â
Do you like the barrel knob? I've never used one like that and don't think I'll like it but wiling to give it a shot since its great otherwise. Is there a replacement knob people have found?Answers
A:Â
Easy to hold, never really noticed anything that I don't like about it.A:Â
Love the knob. It is very smooth.

i find the wood handle just as effective as any other kind of handle. You will not regret purchasing this reel, it is top shelf. I have a shimano and Abu Garcia spinning outfit, and prefer this Phleuger over both of them.A:Â
One of the best features of the reel in my opinion.A:Â
I love it. To me-it looks classy. More styleAnswers

i like and med/light ugly stick.
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
i actually use the 8lb model for bass fishing. and i paired it up with an ugly stik lite i use a 6'6'' medium action model and it costs $39.99 it is very nice and has a better design than the regular ugly stik.
Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
probably a nice M action rod in 6' - 6.5".Answers
A:Â
The President is a little higher end, and the 7 is softer on the wallet, but still and excellent reel. I believe you also asked about what rod to pair it with, is that right? That depends on what you will be fishing for and how. I have mine on a BPS Graphite IM6 and I use it for light lipless cranks and soft plastics. I have had great success with this combination fishing Normandy Lake.

I prefer the president when fishing for non-panfish. But, if I wanted to save the $10-$20, this is still a better option than some other major brands in my opinion.A:Â
Both are high quality reels. If you want to save some money, go with the Trion.
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
i have both, president is a much better reel but if you dont fish a ton or if you are getting this reel for a setup you wont use a lot (thats what i did) then get the gx7, neither have let me down ever but the president is a little lighter and has a nicer drag and is easier to fish all day with.Details:Â
Let's say I buy the 30 size. Will the spare spool be the same as the spool already on it?Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
it will come with the same size spool as what is on the unit.
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
yes! when you buy a certain sized reel, they send a spare spool the same size as the spool you just purchasedAnswers
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
yes you can, it is a large reel. i have it and use 30lb braided but it would handle 14lb mono or floro
Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
it's probably ok for 12#, but i wouldn't go above that unless you get magnathin line (smaller Diameter line) or something in that class. floro is a premium line that you you can go to a lower pound test (8 - 10) and not sacrifice strength. however, floro has its' limits on the type of presentation you can use with it. talk to your bass pro shop rep for more in depth solutions. Tight lines!Details:Â
I just needed input on my 6'6 M Lady Ugly Stik, 4740 Trion Reel and 8# Trilene XL Mono. I'm just learning how to fish and don't have any specific preference of what I want to catch. Probably panfishes, small mouth bass and whatever is around in my Ontario lakes. I will be shorefishing majority of the time. Thanks!Answers
A:Â
Absolutely! My girlfriend owns that rod, and this reel would be a perfect match.
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
that might be a big reel for pan fishing, i use the same reel on a 9' rod for steel head fishing and big pike fishing, they are great reels for the money but if you are fishing for smallmouth and pan fish then i would get a 4730 or 4735A:Â
The 4740 feels a bit heavy in my hands, I am going to exchange it to the 35. Thanks!A:Â
Any reel can be put on an Ugly Stik, but try to match the line capacity as close as you can to the reel.Answers

8lb mono/floro all the way! its tough enough to handle big bass and and its real fun when your fishing for fun and you hook that HUGE fish! and i also use about a 6'6'' medium action ugly stick light! lucky fishin' my friend!A:Â
I use 10# xxx-spider wire mono with a 6' medium action and have good results.
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
I have one spool laoded with 10 lb. flourocarbon for open water applications, and one spool with 6 lb. Trilene XT mono for fishing in cover. I've had great success with both. I hope that helps.
