The Symmetry Skagit

With this one, I decided to have a smaller spool width for the skagit and wind cutter lines. On windy days I feel that a shorter head is a necessary tool to get the job accomplished. This reel still has the weight (10.5 to 15 oz) that spey fisherman need to balance out modern tapered rod designs. I would rather carry an extra ounce or two around than fight a tip off the water all day. All considered, while casting, one's arms are in the air for a very short time, but spey fishermen spend most of their time with the rod at the resting position where struggling with the tip causes extra strain and fatigue. By having balance, the fisherman can relax the grip on the rod.REEL SPECIFICATIONS IN METRIC MEASUREMENT: 357 Grams 101.6 mm x 48.2 mm spoolgap 28.3 mm
