  • High-grade features at a moderate price
  • Four A-RB anti-rust ball bearings
  • Fluidrive II polished oversized drive gear
  • DynaBalance rotor
  • Additional Info
    •  Buyer's Guide
    If you want more bite for your buck, take a look at the Symetre. Its long list of features makes it the popular choice for those who want a high-grade spinning reel without the high price. It has four A-RB™ anti-rust ball bearings for smooth retrieves, along with a Super Stopper® II anti-reverse roller bearing to eliminate backplay. The Fluidrive® II polished oversized drive gear increases the efficiency of your retrieves. DynaBalance® in the rotor eliminates wobble during retrieves, and slow oscillation creates perfect line lay for superior casting distance and maximum contact with your bait or lure during the retrieve. Propulsion spool lip provides longer casting distances while preventing backlashes. S-Rotor ensures a comfortable retrieve. S-Guard prevents impact damage to the frame and rotor. S-Arm Cam and redesigned one-piece bail keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts. Power Roller III is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving. Maintenance port allows easy access to internal gears. Floating shaft reduces friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for smoothness and durability. Cold-forged aluminum spool, aluminum frame, lightweight graphite sideplate and rotor, machined-aluminum handle and rubber handle grips.

    Great Reel, August 21, 2009
    By Baba7

    "This my second Symetre reel and it's better than the first. It casts smoothly and accurately and the line does not tangle. The drag works very well. Although I have only owned the reel a short time, I have caught several large fish and the drag worked very well."

    By augiedoggie from easton,pa.

    "this reel is well built.strong and light weight.i bought two of them,based on a suggestion from a fishing buddy.it casts a mile,the retreive is lash-free and precise. rear drag model 2500 is smooth and easy to readjust without looking down while playing larger fish.i use braided line and mono lines on both of my symetre reels.these are the best reels i have ever used."

    Broken bail, June 17, 2009
    By Sloughdog from Alaska

    "I own about a dozen shimano reels and this is the first one to really fail. The bail broke on mine after only 1 year of use. I was using fireline which may have contributed to the bail breaking, however this has never been an issue with my older stradic reels. Other than the bail breaking, it has been a great reel. Will be getting this one repaired."

    Shimano Symetre Spinning Reel, May 27, 2009
    By ReservoirWayne from CT

    "This is my second Shimano Symetre reel i purchased in the last three years. I wanted to upgrade my second rod and reel, and after looking through the Cabelas catalog i decided to purchase the exact combination i had, the Symetre with a fish-Eagle II rod. I never lost a fish yet on this setup."

    great reel, January 11, 2009
    By Kauaikahuna from Corpus christi, tx

    "Bought one and I use this reel mainly for fishing reds and trout in my kayak. Great reel, smooth drag, and reliable reel. I fish mainly twice a week and do either wading or out of a kayak. Needless to say my reels do work. Great reel my friends like them and are buyin some of them as well."

    GREAT REEL!, January 11, 2009
    By Viperbird from CA

    "This is a great reel! Looked into the stradic and sustain, and this reel compares and is definetly a lot cheaper! I got the 3000 size and have been very happy so far! The reel definetly has that shimano feel, a very definite bail return, and very smooth retrieve! Thanks Cabela's and Shimano!

    shimano symetre 09 model, January 1, 2009
    By Metalstud72 from tacoma wa.

    "...to put it bluntly, I am a gear snob. This reel is one the finest casting and retrieving reels I have ever used. When used for steelhead in rivers or off the beach of the Narrows this reel literally rocks!! I used it paired with a Berkley IM7 9'6 8-12lbs rod for steelhead...needles to say its a perfect match. I throw 3/4 oz. lead for drifting with 12lbs test line....just like butter. The Skykomish is a really wide river right? this reel and my rod effortlessly hit spots almost on the other side of the river....75 yards away. I'd buy two of them......wait I own two of them already, the other for my float setup."

    Better to pay a bit more, January 1, 2009
    By Anonymous

    "I loved this reel but after 1 year i had problem with the anti-reverse. Sometimes, it will reverse and it bugs me. I made it repair from Shimanon shop in Montreal Canada but at the end of the year i had the same problem. Very smooth reel but not tought enough. I don't go fishing often but when i go i like when it works well.

    This year i think i wiil pai a bit more and go with the stradic.
