Shimano Symetre

The newly redesigned Symetre require a lot of effort from Shimano. The reel is built on a solid, lightweight aluminum frame that keeps the stress of fighting big fish, the effects of heat and cold, and years of hard use from moving of any of the interior components, so every gear, bearing, and shaft is where it's supposed to be. The new Cold Forged aluminum spool to reduce weight and provide more strength and resistance to nicks and scratches that can make the rim rough and drastically reduce the distance of your cast. You'll find all the other great features you expect from the industry leading Shimano reels, too, include Super Stopper II for instant anti-reverse, Fluid Drive II and Dyna Balance for smooth, wobble free operation, and Power Roller for reduced line twist and smoother operation. Symetre also offers the S-Arm cam, which keeps your line from wrapping on the bail, which can be a problem with other spinning reels. Symetre also features Super Slow Oscillation, which lays the line on the spool in an almost parallel pattern, which reduces friction when the line comes off the spool on the cast and eliminates spaces and gaps which can cause your line to ‘dig in' and stick on the cast. Symetre offers a fast 6.0:1 gear ratio for the 1500 and 2500 sizes and 5.7:1 for the 4000.
