Shimano Symetre FL Spinning Reel Ultra Light Action SY500FL

Little disappionted

First i will say its a very nice reel smooth ( over 90 bucks it better be! ) and wanted for a long time. Im going to use for trout fishing. The price makes the hardest decision to buy. And still dont understand why a 4000 series is 90 bucks and the little guy is 90 bucks??? But anyway one more thing which made me give 4 stars and disappointed me. Is in advertisement for all say X ship technology but when i purchased it states in manual X ship except sy500fl. I thought i was gettin X ship. Start at 1000 series up. Maybe i didnt read fine print. My stupidity. But it is a very nice reel and im sure it wont let me down . Never really caught a super huge trout! But just beware your not getting X ship in the 500 model.Read full review

Shimano Symetre 500

These Shimano Symetre spinning reels, in my opinion, are the best reels around for the money I have several of them in all the different sizes. Personally I like the rear drag models the best, but the little 500 reel isn't offered in that configuration, front drag only.Read full review

Great for lightweight casting

Used for light tackle fishing in Fremont WI for white bass. Easy to handle and is great for casting jigs. Would definitely recommend for any type of light tackle fishing.

smooth reel

lightweight, smooth operation, nice quality, only down fall is the short spool skirt lets the line get underneath it and wrap up around the spool shaft.
