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. -- Craig Baugher Be Confident, Focused, but most of all Have FUN! |

I have the shimano spirex (1000, 2000, 4000) rear drag. I like the reels on
account of the drag adjustment and the trigger system. I fish in cold weather in the spring and fall and can where gloves and cast with the trigger system. I have a new daiwa tournament quality reel but i haven't broken it's cherry yet. |

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 sssmmmoooottthhh! Clients use them and they take quite a lot of punishment. -- Stony "Craig Baugher" wrote in message news:Fdmuc.19169$4A6.1532@attbi_s52... See a.b.p.f. for two rear drag models.
