I.rar Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 ill be heading to BPS sometime this week to pick up a new reel for my fenwick and im stuck between the symetre 1000 and supreme 25 or 30. i can MAYBE do the saros 1000 if its worth the extra. suggestions? Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 No question about the it. The Supreme is a much better reel than the Symetre. I have both. You heard this from a Daiwa fan. All 15 casting reels in my starting line-up are Daiwa. My two spinning reels are a Supreme and a Supreme XT. In their price range, neither Daiwa nor Shimano can compare. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 I have a Supreme 8025 - great reel, light, good drag; I have 20lb braid on it. It was actually my most used reel last season and cranked in 423 fish... Quote
Uncle Leo Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I own both, I have to say that both are decent but dollar for dollar the Supreme is the much better value. Quote
Al Wolbach Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I have both and prefer the supreme..............Al Quote
Stasher1 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I sold my Symteres and replaced them with Supremes. One of the best fishing-related decisions I've made so far. The Supremes are smoother, lighter, and (imo) better looking than the Symetres. No contest. Quote
The Rooster Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Wow, the Symetre is getting no love in this thread. :-[ ;D ;D ;D Quote
The Rooster Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Neither. Soron STX ;D Aw, that's niiice!! A reel got a vote that wasn't even asked about and the Symetre STILL got nothing. ;D Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 You know where I stand. Quote
trevor Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Well I don't have the Supreme. But sounds like a great reel. I do have the Saros and it is a great reel as well. And the Symetre is not to far off from the Saros, so its probably great too. Mabye take the rod along and try both for balance? The Supreme in a 1000 size is really light, making the rod tip heavy... but thats just me. Quote

Super User bilgerat Posted February 10, 2011 Super User Posted February 10, 2011 You know where I stand. Hmmm - would that be something like.... stronger, smoother, silenter, reliabler.... Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted February 10, 2011 Super User Posted February 10, 2011 You know where I stand. Hmmm - would that be something like.... stronger, smoother, silenter, reliabler.... That sounds familiar for some reason..... ;D Just sayin'..... Quote
TrippyJai Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I've only used my new Supreme for practice casting and I can tell that I'll love it along with my President. Great price for that reel. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted February 10, 2011 Super User Posted February 10, 2011 Wow, not much of a bout in this one. The Supreme body slammed the Symetre. No big surprise. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 10, 2011 Super User Posted February 10, 2011 Pfluegers are pretty nice...............for a couple years, then you throw them away. A $99 Shimano or Daiwa might not be as feature layden, but you'll still have it in 10 years. Quote

I.rar Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 woah ;D thanks guys. ill bring the rod with me and see how the two supremes balance out. BPS is pretty good about keeping their customers happy , so i imagine if i didnt like the reel , i could always exchange it. Quote
