Hey guys, I wanna grab another spinning reel and don't know which to chose out of these 3:
Pflueger President 6935 - $63
Shimano Sahara 2500 -$65
Abu Garcia Orra S30 - $69

They're all on sale right now. I have a Sahara already and love it but know the president is a great reel for the money. I hear great things about the Orra S as well and have wanted one for a while (I'm a fan of Abu Baitcasters).

Can't decide which one. Anyone tried all three and can give input?
Thanks!

Sahara is a nice reel. For 65$ I'd say go for it, but I haven't used the other two on your list.

Have 2 presidents are they are really good IMHO.  BTW, you have all different size reels.

Ya I know. There's no choice in size or I would stick to 2500. The President is a bit larger than I like but will work for what I use it for. I should have mentioned it's primarily for bass and in the case of the President would be used for pike as well. I've narrowed it to another Sahara or president. Still not sure though. Lol

I have them both Sahara and the PP. Bite the bullet and purchase both of them (if you have the rods). Tough call.

Canadian Tire has them on clearance. Not many stores have them left though. North Oshawa store has a display model left and I think Pickering has 1 left. Shimano Spirex 2500FG is also on clearance for $51. Grabbed one of those too. Lol

Any chance you've seen a Shimano Stradic FG 2500-3000 on clearance?

I wish! I don't think Stradic's ever go on clearance given the demand for them.
