Shimano reel reviews

 

 

I already wrote Shimano reel reviews in my page of the ICAST awards. Shimano has been winning awards after awards in the past years.

 

Here are some highlights

5 stars review

Stradic 2500 FI Spinning Reel

shimano stradic fishing reel

ICAST AWARD WINNER 2008

"...Are there better, quieter, smoother??? Sure, but look at the prices..... this is the best deal, best build quality..."

".. is a little gem. It is well built and smooth operating... The only comment I might make is the spool capacity."

"Buy the best and invest in years of quality fishing"

SHIMANO NEW SYMETRE RJ SPIN REEL MH SY4000RJ SY 4000 RJ

shimano symetre fishing reel

I read of a fishing guide who was happy with this reel. Very smooth (ball bearing) and adequate for beginner.

Also, much less expensive than the cousins above!

The only con was the screw in the handle which would loose a little too easily. No extra spool neither.

Reel Ratio: 5.6:1

4 BB

"..money well-spent.."
