The newly designed Pflueger® Patriarch® is truly "The Smart Choice™" in lightweight performance. The new Patriarch is designed to be lighter while adding features like sealed carbon fiber drags. A magnesium body paired with a titanium main shaft keep the reel light while still maintaining its strength. The Total Line Control System and braid ready spool gives anglers complete control over their line, including difficult-to-manage fluorocarbon. Fish a Patriarch® and understand why anglers have trusted Pflueger® for over 130 years!​
