Big T Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Well the saltwater has finally started taking its toll on my Symtre 4000. I think I am going to retire it. It still works but the spool has rough spots and is pitted. I would replace it with another Symtre 4000 but the new ones are to big on that rod.(I have one a inshore rod.) Any way looking for suggestions on a new reel. I really do not need a bigger reel, I have plenty more for the saltwater action, besides I find myslef doing more Bass fishing than inshore. My price range is between 50 and 115 tops. So far I am thinking of either and Pflueger Medalist or the Supreme in the 35 series. Sorry for such a long post, wanted to give as much info as possible Thanks Big T Quote
RatONaStick Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Big T Check out the new Stradic Fi. They just came out and have incorporated many features of the high dollar Stella. I just picked one up for my dad for Christmas based on a recommendation from Roadwarrior. Got it on Ebay, cost me $123 to my door. I know it costs a bit more than what you're willing to spend, but hey whats a few bucks more? I haven't used it yet but it seems to be really solid built and smooooth. Go over to Basspro and Cabelas websites and read the reviews on this reel. Everyone that has reviewed gives it 5 out of 5 stars, they claim it casts much farther than the old Stradic and farther than the previous model Stella. We should get together and fish Sutton lake some time. Quote
