Okay so I've been mostly a penn guy and with all the threads I've read about Shimano and okuma and so forth, I decided that I wanted a new reel for my b-day and my g/f pulled through with flying colors. She got me just what I wanted and I'm looking forward to trying out my new Shimano Sahara 2500. I wanted a new trout / spanish reel to replace the ol' beatn up abu garcia cardinal. Kinda funny, that reel was my higher end reel when I first got started fishing! I thought 30 bucks for a reel was crazy....lol.It lasted 2 years and pulled in some monster reds....caught my first bull red on that thing come to think of it! Anyway I went to acadamey and was looking at the graphite penns when I remembered all the talk about shimano. So I'm giving the Sahara a try, not the most expensive reel but it felt great. So next is an okuma and then I should have a pretty good idea of which i like best. Still love my Penn 750 though...lol
Anybody use this reel, any likes dislikes?
