So i just discovered we made reels size 500, so has anyone had the pleasure of using a shimano symetre 500 or sadona or sahara ? all in 500 they are tiny but would make a truot or blue gill or crappie a good fight!! smaller then the 1000's which i use. just looking for a opinion

They work awesome but I stopped using there 500 and now using there 1000 models, better balance and feels better on 7ft+ rod

x2 what miller said! They're sweet though since you don't see them around too often.

I own a Sienna 500. It's a work horse. I use it for all of my UL applications and have landed a 5lb+ bass before on it using 2lb for a grueling 3 minute battle.

Great reels...hard to find sometimes in local tackle shops. Some of my friends swear they have inconsistent drags. I have a 500 size sedona i use with a telescopic rod for ninja fishing.
