Looks like I win Esquired mine arrived first!!!! :fishing:



However it is raining cats and dogs out there with driving winds so test drive is out for today

It is a gorgeous reel ain't it? It has almost the same features as a Stradic but the only thing is the handle and its made in Malaysia vs the Stradic in Japan.

How much is that US ?

 

[Salmon_Slayer_2008_Lund]

The difference is almost equal. I picked up the Symetre and the hand before the dollar was equal to US. Therefore my Symetre cost me $120+tax. The Stradic MgFA was 279.99+tax.

Fishin NJ the new reel looks sweet. I've heard many good things about the Shamano Reels both the Spinning & Baitcasting.
