shimano symetre

I was wondering if I can use shimano symetre FI4000 in saltwater?

I've used a symetry 4000 series reel many years in the saltwater and its still going strong. I don't know if your symetry is a newer model but the older ones are great and when they first came out they were a faster retrieve than the stradic were for plugging for spanish mackeral.

My symetry has been used practically alot every year since 1992.

Yes. I have the 2500 Symetre and I love it. It is my favorite inshore reel that I own.

I got a Symetre 4000fi for my son. It came with a spare spool. He loves it alot.
Its on a Cableas Predator rod. The reel is spooled with 30lb Power Pro braid.
With 3 ounces of lead he can flat out smoke it.

I have the cabelas Zander rod is the predator better suited to casting metal for specs?

The Predator rod is a carp rod. It only costed 60 bucks plus tax.
I dont really know about the Zander rod.

The one I bought is an 11 foot rod and can throw around 1 to 3 ounces of weight. They make a lighter one but I have never used it.

One thing I dont really care for is the guides are small for a spinning rod and the reel seat is kinda cheesy but for 60 bucks this rod is very good.
