SnookOne Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Anyone use a Shimano Syncopate reel? Likes or dislikes? Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 19, 2011 Super User Posted January 19, 2011 I have a " Good" buddy who uses them. They are nothing special, actualy pretty cheap. But they are reliable for him. He pairs them up with 6'6" ML St Croix Premier spinning rods, and use's 8lb Vanish on them. I can't for sure say that he knows what he's doing though Ask J. Francho. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 Have serviced quit a few over the years. They are an OK reel, the main problem I have with the reel is the graphite frame, side-plate, and rotor, lots of flex during a good fighting run. The reel is Dyna-Balanced to stop a lot of reel wobble from the (Quickfire II) trigger section spinning. There are a lot better spinning reels in the Shimano arsenal. Tight Lines!!! Quote
