Update:
Having decided on the Symetre I utilized my infinite wisdom to drop a hint to Mrs. H2ohh regarding Fathers Day. Young married men, pay attention to the strategy.......
h2ohhh: Honey, fathers day is coming up.
Mrs. H: I know. Is there anything in particular you would like?
h2ohhh: Well, I've had my eye on a reel to go with my new Falcon rod but please don't do that. It's $100 and can wait until we have more money.
Now, she has no idea what reel I wanted any more than I would have on what pocketbook she wanted. What she did know was where I buy almost all of my sporting goods. Of course, I knew that she knew that.
On fathers day I have a $100 gift card to Academy Sports which she and my daughter split. I go down there to get my Symetre and they are out of stock. Bummer. Yesterday I stop by and lo' and behold the Symetre is on clearance for $74.99. I got the last one in Concord. But if you live in Kannapolis, Rock Hill or Hickory area you might check.
And I'm definitely upgrading to the carbon drag kit. But it's one beautiful rod and reel.
