I think Esquired just ordered the same reel! Looks like a nice reel! good luck!

I did - he is a copy cat

BTW Leibs16 has the same reel as well, he cannot figure it out though :lol:
 
Just GOT IT! 3rd cast ever and caught a nice LM on her.
 
Nice reel, im looking at getting a spirex when i buy a new setup. I got to play with one at the boat show last saturday and would of bought one then, but it was only a display booth and they did not have any for sale.

Nice! I've got a Sedona, which I think is the next step down from that, and I really like it. Bought it last summer and still works fine, No complaints so far.

I am replacing a Sedona with the Symetre. I like the Sedona but I wore mine out. I have replaced just about everything that you can replace, but now the handle has a slight wobble - so it is going into the reserve pile!

BTW - the Sedona works great with braided line - very rare to get and overrun. Some of my more expensive spinning reels constantly slough off line it you do not pay attention :cry:
 
Mr. Fishin NJ, Symetre a good reel, balances well with a 6'10" Cumara, excellent reel for the money.

Mr. BassAddict, Dude this is just my opinion, but I had a bunch of Spirexs including the rear drag and had bunches of trouble with them mainly with spool woble after a period of heavy use, I would save a little more and bump it up a notch or two(Sahara or Symetre). I just had bad luck with that reel.

Thanks for the input shamoo, but i dont plan on using it a lot so heavy use is not an issue. I do however want to add a cheap(er) triggered spinning reel to my collection for hard to reach areas and for lighter lures. So if yas have any other suggestions post em up for me please

Quantum Hypercast. I had one and loved it. I gave it away in a moment of weakness.

Esquired got his yesterday as well, This is after I showed it to him a few weeks ago. :wink: :lol:

I think he wants to challenge for the pickerel title or something. LOL. Either way, Well both have a nice reel for the upcoming seasons, hopefully!

My reel will be far uglier then FishinNJ, I tend to treat reels rather roughly, scratches, rips tears and blood.

Hay dragging them around your stone drive way to make them look used and abused ain't gonna do it, lol. :D

No FNJ - I will be fishing with them, not just sitting at home wishing I was fishing

Bass Addict, I don't understand what you mean as far as helping in tight spaces? Having a trigger is going to do nothing that using your finger could not do. You still need the space to under cast or cast in general. Please explain?


I mean as far as casting under overhanging tree branches and skipping baits, i hear its easier on a spinning setup than on a baitcaster.

Edit Oh the trigger has nothing to do with it, its just my preference
 
Bass Addict,
I have had two Spirex in the past and have liked them but would agree you should drop the 20 extra bucks and get the Symmetre. Much better!
