I just picked up a brand new Sahara 2500FB from a sporting goods store, they had a few 1500's & 1 2500 FB's left for $40 on clearance. I had a $10 rewards cert that I used to buy the 2500FB.

So....how are these reels? I have last years Symetere 1500 & it's a very good reel. For those that still own or used to own, how well does it perform, etc, etc...

There good reels for the money. I have 2 that I use sometimes for trout and never had a problem, also caught a 4 pound bass on one and everything is still like new.

Last year's was good, but this year's FD is just sick. Besides, if you buy last year's model
and you decide to mess it up, they might just replace it with the new one.

Yup, country store down the road similar to Sports Authority, but there's a redneck on the porch playing a banjo to the tune of Deliverence....Them rednecks sure do luv Filipinos comin' a visitin' to their store. I just hate it when they tell me I have pretty teeth.....& want me to squeal like a pig!!! Man that sure bugs me...hillbillys!

I tried telling them about pork or chicken adobo, but they want to make that dish w/ road killed deer or racoon...I sure do miss So Calif....

I've had a couple of Saharas and Symetere's for a few years now. No problems- keep thm clean and lubed. Look fwd on getting the small 500 Symetere reel this year.
