Brand:Pfleuger
Model:Trion
Line Class:1-3kg
Cast Weight:Handles anything up to 8grams
Product ID:PFLT-SP701ULT
Price As Tested:$80 BCF (Be quick)
Pieces:1
Line weight tested:1kg
Reel used:Tokushima ss1000 11 Ball Bearing
HM45 Graphite.Nice weight.
Well above average cork quality.
Fuji seat and Alconite guides.
Good amount of runners.Suitably spaced.
Binding looks cheap,not straight finish when bound.
Extremely light,perhaps the lightest i have ever used.
Attractive Split Butt design.Aluminium (?) caps on ends of cork.
First impression was tip was a bit 'soft'.Ok for HB,but for SP,i would have prefered something a bit stiffer.However was equally up to the task.
Fantastic using bait.Lots of feel.I only use small sinkers,so casting distance is always an issue,but with this rod,i can throw little weights further than i am used to.Especially my 6g Surface Poppers.
When i used HB's and SP's i have found that this rod is absolutely perfect for this application.
Seems to pull in the weighter fish with ease.I found that with the butt length,i can really stick it to the bigger species.
Overall unreal value @ $80.Trying making it for that !!
Blank construction looks nice in sunlight,with the internal wraps showing...classy.
Out of the 5 that i looked at,only 2 had the reel seat and runners lining up.This is an absolute disgrace by Pflueger,which should have been correctly lined up without customers checking,and should have been found before hitting the shelves,if there was a quality control in place.
Overall 8/10.
Looses points for seat alignment issue and cheap looking binding.
Good Points
*Value for money
*Light as a feather
*Good cork
