Took it first time trout fishing. Caught over 16 trout and some were in the 18 inch range. With 2lb izorline and the smooth drag , I never broke a fish off...also won 1000 dollars off 2 tag fish. If you looking for a good ultralight reel the Symetre 500 is all you need.

Getting right to it, after you trigger the bail then begin to reel which closes the bail this is where a very bad problem occurs, the bail is much to hard to close. If I cast and see that I'm throwing long I quickly close the bail to stop from over throwing.... this reel is so hard to close I cannot do that so I overthrow. Other than that the reel is good, it retrieves very smoothly.

I really do like the spirex 2500 fg it's going to a good size for pan fish such as brim and crappie to larger fish such as large mouth bass the smooth action is comparable to more expensive models I also like the trigger feature for one handed casting I put it on a good medium heavy action rod in case I hang into a larger bass but it would probably be a good match for a medium action as well already caught a few fish on it and I was pleased with it would recommend rod

I'm a big fan of Shimano fishing reels. This one will replace one I have used for 25 years. The only gripe I have is the unavailability of this model with rear drag. Apparently they don't make them anymore. I feel like I got this one at a fair price and it arrived right away. Can't wait to use it this month.
