Re: Buy Pflueger Patriarch or Shimano Sustain Spinning Reels
The Pfluegur Partriarch only weighs 6.3 oz and looks pretty sweet with my NRX Blue Spinning rods. For the price it can not be beat I believe. I would rather have the lighter of the two reels in my hand and it is more than smooth enough for me. If the shimano was lighter than I might go with it but for now I am putting Pfluegur Partriarchs on all of my spinning rods.

Pure fishing Australia has a patriarch xtr rod, 36ton xf blanks with fuji ti framed SiC guides. Matches very well.
I find it hard to discern smoothness btw the sustain and the patriarch. I too love how light and rigid the patriarchs are. Have to admit though the sustain looks better and closer tolerances. Reels from Sweden, Japan and Korea have much better tolerances compared to the rest.
