Hey guys,
One of the camping.....fishing shops we know of has a combo for "Symetre reel & Sahara rod" for $149 at the moment. The reel alone normally costs $149, so basically getting a free rod and t-shirt.
What's your thoughts on the Sahara rod....any good? I guess a good spare as I'm looking at buying a Pflueger Trion to go with the Symetre anyways.
Appreciate your thoughts.
See this is what shits me with this shop too. Mrs went to get me a Symeter and there was none in stock, and this was just a few weeks back, so she got another reel ( upsold ). Now there is a deal like this on.Originally Posted by TrentC

Sahara rods are fine. It will be a good combo in that price range

I would grab that combo at that price....the rod will last well and you will be happy with it.

Hey Guys, I picked up two of these combos (Symetre 2500 + Sahara 2 piece 3-5kg rod).....nice and well balanced set. One combo for me and one for the wife.
At the same time I picked up a 2500 Sierra + Shimano Estuary 602 Spin for my nephews 14th Bday. I was thinking of getting him the same combo as us but concerned as he's just getting into fishing and never owned his own set, hi-sticking was a concern on the Sahara so went with a fibreglass option on the estuary spin.
Looking forward to testing them out.
OK, so I picked up my Symetre 2500 + Sahara 3-5kg Rod.
Next question!
What braid & leader would you recommend. I got Millennium 10lb braid recommended but feel thoughts are that's too heavy for what I want to fish:
Saltwater = Bream, Flathead, Whiting etc......just bread & butter fish.
Freshwater = Bass and trout.
Appreciate your thoughts on above for both options.
Cheers
Trent
i would go 6lb braid for those fish. and 4-6lbs leader for bream and whiting and 8-12lbs leader for flatties.
