I had this exact post on FW a few months ago, Ended up buying the Ci4 as the supreme has low drag pressure and has shallow spool. Then i ended up buying the supreme aswell ^_^ The pflueger is a better built reel, but it is for light tackle applications where the pressure on gear isn't as great.

the only reason i was considering the supreme was that is is going on a pflueger trion 3 - 5kg and thought it would be good to match it up

 

keep em coming....cheers russ
