I have never owned a Pflueger, but have never heard anything but good about them. I have owned about everything else, including Lew's, Okuma, Daiwa, Garcia, and more. I'm starting to gravitate to all Lew's because they're so dang smooth. But so is my Okuma. A smooth drag is imperative with an ultralight.
Line may be more important than the reel's drag. I really like Nanofil in 6#. It's as small as two-pound mono, but generally break at no less than eight to 10 pounds. The thing with Nanofil is that you absolutely MUST have ultra-smooth rod guides or it will fray. Add a fluoro leader in a lighter pound test, and you're good to go.
