My spinning reel is a Shimano Symetre 2500 RJ. It's on a 6'3",medium action,60 million modulus, Extreme,by Bass Pro. I love it. I use 8lb trilene and have caught 2 5lb+ smallmouth's with it. It handles great. Cost about $215 so it better be good. Right? My baitcaster is a 30 yr old Abu Garcia Ambassaduer 5000c. It's mounted on a 6'6",med/heavy,cyber stick by Renegade with 10lb test Trilene. Love it too. I had a great night not long ago on Cherokee Lake in Morristown,Tn. We used a 6" red shad curly tail worm and the largemouth ate it up. We caught 10 and an average of about 3.75lb's per fish. Looking forward to the second frost when the Smallies should turn on. Nothin' like fishing for deep water smallmouth with live creek minnows.
