Nice small spinning reel

I got used to the quick fire on these reels years ago. Easy to get reset to cast again for a quick return to the water. Use this reel for crappie fishing when they move into shallow water to spawn.

Perfect Reel for the OMG Moments!

Please allow me to qualify this review. My grandfather some 50 + years ago taught that Murphy's Law was written for fisher people (PC correct?) He always had a second rod & reel rigged and ready to cast the unexpected rise/swim by to the keeper of the day, I cannot count the number of times this practice has saved a day on the water!
The 2500 Syncopate is a solid basic reel, no bells/whistles but it has a terrific feature, the trigger bail, it cuts casting time in half, just when you need that fast cast
Pros
  • Trigger bail, reliability.
Cons
  • None

This is my first order with Tackle Direct. Great experience. Delivery as promised. I own many of the Syncopate reels I ordered. Inexpensive, but long lasting and smooth. I put these on rods I use for speckled trout fishing in SE Louisiana marshes. They perform very well.
Pros
  • robust reel for my type of fishing and great value
Cons
  • none

Quickfire is a fun and useful gimmick
November 12, 2020
Shimano makes the best cheap freshwater reels. I have some that are 20+ years old and still perform beautifully. Don't really see the need for expensive reels to catch 5 lb fish tbh. This is replacing an ancient quickfire model that lost its drag knob somewhere. It's a blessing and a curse that the anti-reverse throws you back to the quickfire position. Just remember to hold on to the handle (which you would be anyway) when setting the hook so it doesn't spin back to fire position.
Pros
  • quickfire
  • smooth operator
Cons
  • friends think it's silly and might mock you

silky smooth

very impressed with the construction and smoothness of this reel, particularly for the price! I also love the 1 handed casting feature.
I can't speak to the durability of it- but I have only had good experiences with Shimano in the past...

Can't go wrong with this reel
October 14, 2014
Botught reel for my wife b/c of trigger and self-centering, but I like it too. Withstood a week of surf fishig and great for freshwater bass, small to mid-size stripers, and redfish. Shimano's are smooth. All I buy now. Tackle Direct is great to work with. Great web site and fast delivery.

from Eastern NC asked:
May 16, 2015
I have a question about the size of the Shimano Syncopate sc1000FG Spinning Reel. Is this reel small enough for use for ultralight tackle? I have seen the Syncopate 1000 and 2500 and 4000 which is the smallest? I usually use 6# line and cast very light baits. Thanks, Phillip

Phillip, This would be an excellent reel for ultra light tackle.
