1000 is a very nice trout reel
I put this on a 3pc 5ft ugly stick travel rod and loved the feel of it. Spent a couple hours using it, then left it on top of the car and drove off. It fell off on a 30mph turn and took some dings to the spool and handle grip. I stoned out the dings and can live with the handle as is. A couple weeks later, fished with it continuously on a 1 week trip with some friends. It was smooth as butter. Caught several 10-15" trout on 4lb line and spinners and had a great time. Absolutely no issues and still just as smooth. I think it is the perfect size reel for rainbow/brown/brook trout. As a note: It has a little switch that allows the reel to run in reverse.

So smooth
This is a great panfish reel. I've used it twice and caught over 4 dozen fish so far, the largest being a stocked rainbow trout. I put 4 lb S.O.S Mono by Leland Lures on it and it casts a light lure very far. It is surprisingly powerful for such a small reel. No issues with back lash or line twists in my 6 hours or so of using it. I've used mini crankbaits, in-line-spinners, trout magnets, vertical jigging, and a jig head on a bobber and have only positive things to say about it. Feels so smooth when reeling it in. Would definitely buy it again.

High quality and good buy for the buck
Very good quality and dependable. I've used on 2 different fishing expeditions now and I have put it through reaction, durability, and high end strength and drag use. Very good for light weight applications and continuous casting and proved to be a great reel for larger game fishing.

You get what you pay for.
This is a great ultra light reel and Shimano quality. I started to just buy one of those low cost reels with the hi bearing count but I'm used to having quality that I can easily get parts for if needed. I have Penn and Shimano reels that are so old they are obsolete and finally unable to get parts but they are still functional and catching fish so why buy throw away reel for half the price right!

Ahh.. what kind of Reel should you get? This Reel!
Why choose any other reel? Honestly, it's smooth, probably the smoothest reel I've ever touched. It's flow is honestly magical. You'll know after you try this one. I used the 3000 for Bass fishing and couldn't have been happier. It has a quick ratio and now I'm using this one to help cast further for Crappie season. Don't settle for less.. I went through about 2-3 $30 reels before I realized this was a smart purchase. Don't see myself owning a different one ever..

built tough!
Shimano makes a great reel for salt water surf fishing. I have several and have used them for many years. They have proven time and again to be rugged, reliable and tough enough to handle larger fish than expected. Although I wash them with fresh water after every use, they have proven to be exceptionally corrosion resistant, saving me alot of replacement money.
