Flywatersmallie Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I got my hands on a "new" Sahara about a week or 10 days ago (as well as an old one, and a Symetre both deeply discounted). That new Sahara (for $79) compares favorably to the old Stradics, in my opinion. Having not used the newer models, I cant really comment. I fish river smallies more often than not and, I'm not a big fan of the fact that the 1500 series size is gone now. Look at the Daiwa Exceller too, for $70 or whatever, might be the most bang for your buck out there! Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 the big problem is I don't have a favorite. That creates baitmonkey issues big time. I've got Pflueger Medalists x 2 Gander Medalist knockoff x 2 Shimano Symetre I like them all. I do favor the Medalist and the President a little but I have no particular reason to do so Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 4, 2008 Super User Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks for all of your opinions everyone, i have narrowed it down to 2 reels, the symetre and the stradic 2500 mgfb, i just have to do a little more research on both, but right now i am leaning to the stradic, again thank you for all youre opinions I would go with the Stradic 2500 FI, awarded ICAST "Best In Class". 8-) Quote
