Pflueger Medalist

[bulltrout]

I found my grandpas old fly fishing stuff, and his reel that i dont know what to do with, it's a Pfluger medalist reel, and i'm not sure weather to sell it, cause it has never been used, or to keep it, i hear that it is worth some money, but i dont really know anything about it. so i might just keep it, or do some dealing if anyone is interested in a old timer reel. let me know

I say keep it. My grandparents gave me a split bamboo rod with a automatic reel that had the silk line still on it. After some research I took some advise form several sources. I FISH WITH IT!!!! My grandparents love pics I send them with the rod and reel. I only use the rod in the best situations maybe 3to 4 times a years but it is worth it.

i am going to use it, i just went and got new line on it and everything, hopeuflly it will catch me small mouths down at the gorge.

That was my first reel. It's one of those that take a licken and keeps on reel'in. I say keep it, it's a classic. I'm sure a lot of us on this board started out with a Medalist.

I still have 2 or 3 kick'n around here somewhere. A little heavy for my taste, but still a solid reel!

That was my first reel as well. I used it with a 9 ft 5 wt Pflueger Summit. I baught them seperately and the whole setup cost me less than $45. I still have both although I don't use them much. My younger brother uses them on occasion.

My uncle taught me to fish for Grayling using one of those reels. I still use my old Martin #63 for my 3wt. Use it and enjoy it.
