I guess looking at this post no one should try to set records on light tackle because you surely will loose a fish or get spooled and that is a fact lets see 30 % of 10 pound test is about 3 lbs now go and try to catch a sharl or someother fish without playing with the drag.  I love a good challenge and trying to fight fish but you have no worries about me telling you that a big fish got away because I only do it to play for fun.  To me that what fishing is.  That is just my opinion.  I love hearing about the fish that got away as they get bigger every time someone tells the story and I know they are liars.  Then I do not believe anything else eversaid by that indiviual.  I like to fish not tel stories.  LOL LOL

My fish don't "get away".

road warrior why did you not respond to me also why did you or another moderator delete my last post.  I am here to try to learn and I feel that that was uncalled for.  I do not feel it was off topic either as we went from a reel to actual pound test and names of line.  I was told this was an excellent forum to meet friendly fisherman from around the country.  If that is not what this is for please send me a private email and let me know.  I just feel that you have a wealth of knowledge and wanted to talk fishing with you.  I am a little disapointed to say the least.

Who deleted a post D3 ???? I have never seen that done here unless there was profanity etc.

If that happened it's not right, and needs to be addressed!!!

PS I'll check with LBH

Hmmm, I think that the original post was about the Shimano Symetre. I really like this reel (both versions). Not only is it a fantastic reel for the money, it's a great reel period.

You are correct Sir!!!

Thanks for getting us back on track Madhouse!!!

I agree, front or rear drag it's a heck of a reel for the price!!

I've got a Shimano Symetre and love it. Very smooth. Will cast a mile.

Casts a mile, you are right!!! Farther than any other spinning reel I have owned???
