I hear ya Craig! I still love all three of my Symetre 1000s, they are front
drag. Sweeet reeels! Mine have too many 4#rs on each of them and still are

See a.b.p.f. for two rear drag models. I fished with the Symetre model
for
a couple years and loved it. But it does have one plastic gear that
cannot
take the pressure of catching a day of hawgs. Caught about 10 smallies in
about a two hour span that weighed 5+ pounds and that plastic gear melted
down, striped out, skipped a half gear, doesn't matter, I had another nice
fish on and I had to hand line it in, because my reel took a crap.
