What size reel to get...

I'm about to pick up a few new reels and have a dilemma. I'm going to pick up a couple shimano symetres and need to choose size.
Would a 1000 size shimano symetre on a 6'6" Light or Medium Light rod be sufficient for largemouth bass fishing? Mostly 2-4 pound fish with a possible chance at a rare 8-10 pounder. My other choice would be the 2500 version.

The 2500 is better for all around fishing including what you're going to be doing. Better Retrieve ratio and holds more line . Nice reels but I've switched all my clients to Pflueger Presidents with great long term success. Good luck

I would go 2500
I use a 1000 for spotted bass <2lb. It does a great job for that. i would want the 2500 for largemouth.
Also... Shimano or bust

I would use a openface reel, like a Calcutta 400.

Go with the 2500 for sure. Why not upgrade to Daiwa, much more bang for the buck and better spinning reels. Compare the Daiwa reel that is the same money as the symmetry which isn't a very good reel. You'll get more bearings and much better drag. Legalis, or
Exceller. Good luck.

I have an older gen of the 1000 Symetre and I love it. However i actually was in the market to get another last year and was not as impressed with the latest offerings. My older Shimano was MUCH more reel than the newer models. Believe I wound up getting a Quantum they had on a ridiculous sale which I absolutely love for ultralight/light bass fishing, but may be overmatched with larger fish.
Heard nothing but good about the Pfleugers so I think if it were e I'd have to give their 2500 series a serious look.
