Spinning reel
« on: February 21, 2013, 07:28:43 PM »
Any thoughts on what might be a good choice for medium size? I'v been looking at the Diawa LEXA 2500SH

I have a penn battle 3000 and love it. Have a couple 2500 shimano's like the sahara and symytre that are awesome. Just beware of the new model shimano spinning reels as I have heard and seen lots of them blowing up. I think they redesigned them and from the sounds of it, they are having lots of issues.

Can't go wrong getting a little higher quality Shimano Stradic.  Definitely holds up to everything up to and including steelhead.

The 2500 is about right for a "medium" sized do-all reel.

I've had really good luck with Cabelas Salt Strykers over the last 15 or so years (same one the whole time that I used a lot, finally broke a case screw).  They were recently changing it's look, so I bought 4 more at about half price, I'm set now for the rest of my life.    :tup:  They have, I think, four sizes and I believe are all still under $100.

+1 on shimano. Have had many many reels over the last 35 years including quite a few diawa, penn, Abu Garcia, and now I only buy shimano. I like the symetre also.

Shimano Stradic or a Pfleuger President.  Can't go wrong with either, especially the Pfleuger at the cheap price.  They are the most underrated spinning reel out there.  I've burnt up a ton of higher end reels......Shimano, Diawa, Quantum......but have never burnt up a Pfleuger yet.  Just as smooth as well. :twocents:
