Lexa Vs. Symetre Vs. Supreme Mgx

[Vinny Chase]

I am looking to spend around $100 on a new spinning reel to pair with my new *** rod. I have always been a shimano guy, but have heard some really great things about the Lexa and I had to throw the supreme in there because of the Pflueger name. What are you thoughts? Has anyone had experience with one or more of these reels?

Side note, I did have a symetre about 3 years ago that I ended up selling...The only Shimano reel I have purchased and wasn't satisfied with, but it looks like they did a redesign since then.

I was at dsg and handled the lexa and the symetre 

 

 

The lexa feels smooth and solid. The bail flipped over effortlessly with the handle. It made me consider buying one for inshore use.

 

The symetre felt good but the lexa had a better overall feel that was noticeable 

 

The supreme looks good (havent handled one)

 

I think it was 119, the symetre was 109

 

they give you 20 off with a used reel and you can add another 10 dollar coupon to it. Im sure itll much cheaper on the auction site tho(the stradic fj is 130 on there)

 

 

They may have them in store in your area for you to test also, its not real world but it does help along side online reviews.

Vinny Chase,

 

American Fishing Legacy has the Symetre FJ on sale for 59.99, that help your decision?

Thanks for pointing that out, but no because that is the one I previously owned and was not happy with.

I am leaning towards my first Diawa and going with the Lexa! Thanks guys.

I've fondled the lexa a couple of times, based only on that I was very impressed.  I see nothing negative at all about this reel, I'd buy one in an eyeblink.

The Lexa spinning reel looks nice and feels nice also. But I wouldnt overlook the Pinnacle Performa XT either.

Pinnacle has come along ways. I have one of their Optimus LTE baitcast reels and have been very impressed with it so far.

i got the pflueger supreme mgx, but i cant really give an honest review of it. i mean it feels great and is real lightweight and smooth. i bought it earlier this year and just havent had much time to fish at all between being busy at work and swamped with stuff around the house. cant wait to get some reel significant time to use it, which should be in a couple weeks over 4th of july weekend.
