[QUOTE="Mattman, post: 9070, member: 23"] The Symetre is the lowest quality reel I'll buy today. About 10 years ago I bought a Sedona, Sahara and a Symetre all at the same time. At the time, I couldn't tell the difference between the $40 reel and the $80. Every year I tear my reels down and clean and lube them. It was upon opening my reels that I saw the difference. They Symetre was built with better components and was of a more robust design. My Sahara had to get junked out many years ago. My Sedona got moved to occasional use only about the same time. My Symetre is still going strong and shows no signs of needing any work done to it. At the time of purchase, the Symetre didn't seem like a good value. Now, every year that passes my investment becomes smaller and smaller... Front drags only for me. The drag washers are larger when in front. And typically the rest of the mechanics are better as well. [/QUOTE]
