Shimano Symetre FI

Product Description

The Shimano Symetre FI Spinning Reel… smooth, silent, strong and so much more:

Aluminum frame (except model 750 which is graphite);

Cold forged aluminum spool provides increased strength and durability;

Graphite sideplate and rotor;

Spare cold forged aluminum spool;

S-Concept design for a smooth, silent and strong Reel;

Slow oscillation lays the line in a parallel pattern for excellent castability and control;

S-Arm Cam protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts;
Maintenance Port, a sealed plug that can be removed using a screwdriver to easily lubricate the drive train without disassembling the reel;
A-RB (anti-rust bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings;

Fluidrive II boasts increased tooth contact for increased efficiency;
Super Stopper II is a 1-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets, yet can be turned on or off to allow back-reeling;
Dyna-Balance uses counterbalancing techniques in the rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve;

Power Roller II is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto the roller;

Friction is reduced between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased smoothness and durability.

Shimano Symetre FI, November 2, 2006

By Chris L.
This is the best spinning reel, priced below $200, I have ever used. This is the smoothest, most silent, most durable and easy to maintain reel I have ever used and I would recommend it to anyone.

The Bottom Line – The Shimano Symetre FI is a mid-price range reel that really works as well its higher priced cousins.

The redesigned Shimano Chronarch 100BSV is packed with exciting features that make this reel better than ever. Shimano has incorporated their exclusive Ion Plating technology also used in the Stella Spinning Reels for an extremely durable finish. You?l see the new Escape Hatch access to the VBS centrifugal braking system that allows you entry with an easy to use trigger instead of the screw lock system. The diameter of the gears have been greatly enlarged and polished providing incredible leverage for a high speed retrieve with plenty of fish moving torque.

  • Ball Bearing: 6+1 A-RB Stainless Steel Ball Bearings
  • Escape Hatch
  • High Efficiency Gear
  • Shimano Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system

    • The Facts: The Shimano Chronarch is available in three models. The CH-B is for most fishing applications that require fast line pickup but not a massive amount of line capacity. With PV power grips and a 5.0:1 gear ratio, BPV is optimal for big crankbaits or swimbaits. BSV is designed for saltwater. With a deep spool for line capacity, high speed retrieve and oversized grips. The Escape Hatch sideplate access system allows for quick VBS adjustments.
