davester28 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I got one given me as a gift and it's a nice little reel. Very smooth and the 1000 size is very compact and light - great for finesse fishing. As mine was a gift, I have no idea how much it cost, so can't really compare it to anything else in the Shimano line. It certainly feels as smooth as an Ultegra I own (Japanese Stradic). One thing I did notice was it doesn't have a huge amount of drag power (single washer), but you'd expect that in a 1000 reel and with 4 lb Fireline, you wouldn't be fishing a very tight drag anyway.
