ksdog Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 in the 1500 to 2500 size ? When my spinning reels are under a load, ie. dragging a tube along the bottom or reeling in 1/8oz jighead with 5" grub, the resistance seems high. I'm looking for a strong, effortless, and smooth retrieve. Recommendations ? Quote

I don't care who you are, that's funny! Raul is correct, of course, but you might be satisfied with the Shimano Symetre or Stradic at different pricing points. Quote

You have excellent advice here and all you really need. Beware though, soon there will be posts recommending Pflueger reels. These folks are known as mooks. They are really good guys but their taste in fishing reels is not what it should be. Quote

I can see the Shimano posse has already been here so I will just mosy along. Stradic is probably the reel you are looking for. Ronnie Quote
Guest DavidGreen Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 ksdog, in the 1500 to 2500 size ? When my spinning reels are under a load, ie. dragging a tube along the bottom or reeling in 1/8oz jighead with 5" grub, the resistance seems high.Just a thought. Depending on the make of the reels you are having issues with, have you thought about cleaning and re-lubing the "Line Roller". Even on the reels you are seeking "strong, effortless, and smooth retrieve". You will have extra resistance when slow cranking (under-load) a spinning reel IF the line roller starts to bind "check for groves also". Just a thought... Tight Lines!!! Quote

I guess I'm not familiar with what a 'mook' is.. I use a Pflueger reel and I am well pleased with it.. does that make me a mook???I suppose you are not a Pflueger fan???

Super User Redlinerobert Posted February 2, 2007 Super User Posted February 2, 2007 If you are looking at the Stradic or Sustain, go ahead and SAVE some money in the long run and get the Stella. Trust me on this one. Quote
