Shimano spinning reels

Postby crawford » Fri Mar 14, 2003 10:21 am

I am in the process of converting all of my tackle to Shimano. In years past I have used Shimano Stradic 4000s due to their smooth drags and dependability. As a guide, my equipment must stand up to salt everyday.

Before I buy new reels, I wanted to get some input from others on their experiences with other Shimano spinning reel models. How about Spheros, can anyone share info, positive or negative?

Shimino Spheros reels

Postby Two Can » Sun Mar 16, 2003 7:29 am

Used a Speros all last year-bought it instead of Stradic because (1) Less expensive (2) equiped with a special seal which prevents salt water intrusion into bearings and drag mechanism.

This reel is very smooth and casts extremely well on a quality, medium rod. Mine is on a 7' medium Shimino rod. A friend has one on a 7' Ugly Stick and it works extremely well also. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Stradic is not equipped with salt water exclusion seal.
