| | Neither the Sahara 59.99 or the Symetre 79.99 are saltwater rated/designed reels, although they perform very well if ya take care of them. I have several Saharas and had a Symetre that my son took ownership of.. 3 years of use in fresh and salt and all are still kicking. Work as well asn any other reel with braid. Care fresh water wash down after every use, once a year I tear them down thuroughly clean and lube. There is a weak link in the Sahara in the bail mechanism, its a simple plastic peice that breaks and the bail will not function. Have not seen it fail in the Symetre, but it is the same design. The Spheros is salt water rated/designed was 79.99 is supposedly bulletproof. The weak link on the original Speros seems to be the line roller bearing and gets noisy if you take shortcuts on the fresh water wash down. The Spheros is physically heavier than an equiv. Sahara or Symetre. Shimano just upgraded, maybe better, that reel and also raised the price. They also released an upgrade in the salt water line the Saragosa, priced in the range of the Stradic 139.99 -159-99, that has salt water rated/designed Saros/Stradic features. Don't have one, but the Diawa Tierra, around 110 bucks seems to also perform well and get some good reviews. |

| My vote is for the Daiwa Tierra. Costs around $105 if you buy it right, email me for details if interested.
