Compact Shimano spinning reel with QuickFire II for smooth one-handed casting on light line.
The Shimano Syncopate FG in size 2500 is a front-drag spinning reel for lakes, rivers and inshore water. Its QuickFire II system lets you cast one-handed, and the Propulsion spool lip is meant to cut down wind knots and backlashes. It spools braid or mono and brings in about 29 inches of line per turn, which suits anglers just starting out as well as those with some miles behind them.
