tezz32 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I use a pair of Shimano Symetre spinning reels. Isn't the line handling pretty much the same on the Symetre and the Stradic? no the stradic has the aero wrap on it witch puts the line on the spool differently Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 29, 2012 Super User Posted April 29, 2012 I use braid as main line on all my reels, with fluorocarbon leaders as needed. I have few complaints, one I do have that I don't see mentioned, and it might help your decision one way or the other, is the "bow" wind blows in braid. It drives me nuts at times, but I live with it for all the reasons I like braid. If I know I am going to be fishing in stiff wind all the time, it might sway me back to using fluoro. If $$ and space in my boat were not an issue, I would have a few extra combos spooled up with fluoro just for that reason as well. Quote
TRYTOFISH Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 suffix 832. I got the abu orra reel recently thats made for braid. Fished hard with it sofar this year with no problems. Also put it on the new lightning rod for braid. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Been using 20# Power Pro on spinning gear for about 6 years with absolutely no problems. I always use a palomar knot and usually have a snap swivel tied on. Quote
Fish Chris Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Love my TUF-Line From 3/10, on the micro lights, to 8/30 on my medium lights, to 50lb on my swimbait rods... I even have some 80 spooled up on heavy rods for Sturgeon.... but then I turn around and fish for the Sturgeon with my micro lights anyway LOL Oh, I'm pretty much a spinning reel only guy.......
