New Bream Combo?

[Guest Big-Banana]

Gday Fellas,

Looking to get a bit more serious on the Bream and whilst the Sedona/Okuma rod does it very nicely, I want a second combo which can be used also for squid and throwing lures at Salmon etc.

I'm very keen on the Shimano Symetere 2500, looks the goods. Good reels? Past experiences?

I also need to match with a $100 rod, so something not that expensive. 2 piece preferably.

Any thoughts or advice?

Berkeley dropshots are about that price, I have a 7' rod (now 6'8" after my mate snapped the tip off) and am very happy with it.

Cheers

The Symetre is the best!

Super smooth, Super slow osilation and Super stopper.

It's SUPER

Hey fellas,

for those that care I decided to grab a Shimano Symetere 2500 (looks an absolute outstanding reel!), paired up with a Shimano Xcel 2-4kg and 4kg Fireline Crystal Braid. Looks a great outfit. Thanks for the input everyone.

Will double as a bream/pelagic outfit and really stoked on how it feels and casts.
