Fishing Reels Manufacturer: Pflueger
Pflueger Model: Medalist Fly Reel model 1494 1/2
Review Category: Fishing Reels
Purchase: Fishing Reels You know, I really can't tell how much
my first Pflueger 1494 1/2 reel cost
because it was a Christmas gift from my parents way back in the 1950's. I do know that it was inexpensive because
my folks couldn't afford one of those
high priced ones. Besides my dad had the
exact same model and he used his a lot.
Even today, these nice little reels and extra spools are not very expensive and
are available at many retailers and mail-
order locations. They sell for about $25.00 and extra spools for about $13.00 from Cabela's.
Things I like about the Pflueger Medalist Fly Reel model 1494 1/2 Fishing Reels: I can tell you that I have used my Pflueger Medalist for many, many years
without a single problem. The only exception would be to apply a bit of lube
to the inner works once in a great while.
But cleaning and lubing can only be con-sidered normal. Another thing that I like
about these reels is the ease of changing
spools. I have 2 reel bodies and 4 spools
with different types of lines. On one
there is a sinking line, another has a
floater, and two have sink-tips of dif-
ferent sink lengths, so I am covered for any situation. Changing spools is very
simple, push the release button and pull
the old spool out and push the new one in
until seats in the body. It couldn't be easier. The most important consideration
is they function easily and flawlesly. I
look forward to passing them down in the
family when I can no longer use them.
What I don't like about the Pflueger Medalist Fly Reel model 1494 1/2: I really don't have any dislikes with my
setup. My 2 reels have served me very
well for decades without complaint.
Fishing Reels Medalist Fly Reel model 1494 1/2 quality: These reels are made of aluminum and are
light weight and balance well on a fly
rod. The spool is enclosed in a rigid
frame that gives it good body strength.
This helps keep the entire assembly
straight and true. All in all, they are
well constructed and should last a life-time.
Medalist Fly Reel model 1494 1/2 summary: My reels have served my purposes ex-tremely well with no problems. They come
well made and with their inexpensive cost
and availability just can't be beat. Any
fisherman would be well suited for any
but the largest of species of fish with
one of these reels and I would be eager
to recommend one of the several models of Medalist reel to anyone interested. I
beleive that a beginniner would be well
equipped and ready for almost anything.
