COLUMBIA, SC - The Pflueger® Supreme QRS, "Quick Release Spool," won big at the 2017 ICAST New Product Showcase "Best of Show" awards in Orlando, Florida, receiving Best in Category for New Fly Reel Products. Modern in style and functionality, the QRS is a testament to the brand's innovation, dependability and attention to detail.
With over 1,200 new products entered into the competition, buyers and media representatives at the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades judged the products based on their level of innovation, execution, workmanship and practicality.
"Innovation is the name of the game for the new Pflueger Supreme QRS Fly Reel, and we're honored to receive this accolade from the ICAST community," said Hugh Hutson, associate brand manager, Pflueger. "The unique ability to fit four line sizes on one fly reel combined with an excellent price point and innovative cassette spool system makes it a game changer for fly anglers, and we are eagerly anticipating its release this September."
The new interchangeable large arbor cassette spool system allows the angler to quickly change out line size and/or type – meaning that the same reel can be used for many different fishing conditions.
The new polycarbonate cassettes are secured in the spool carrier by an advanced locking system enclosed by a full stainless steel and 6061 alloy construction. Other key features of the Supreme QRS include dual spool 4-line rating, quick release sliding ring system and the line indication system.
MSRP for the Pflueger Supreme QRS Fly Reel is $149.99.
