This Shimano iX 1000R reel is a good deal for the price. It has a trigger on it that will allow you to cast it with one hand. It will flip the bail open and allow you to cast with one hand. I have had one for several years and it is of good quality. It is best for UL to Light fishing combos and has always worked well for me. It has the drag on the rear which allows you to adjust the drag easily while you are fighting a fish. I think the reel is mainly graphite which is lite. Actually, if you buy the iX 4000R model it is big enough for Light Saltwater fishing and the graphite reel will not rust because there is NO metal to rust. All in all, a decent reel for the price!

I used this reel this weekend, and I was really disappointed. The retrieval speed is not very fast and seems inconsistent. I guess I was hoping that it would compare to other similar reels that Shimano makes with the quickfire system. It will now be a spare if another reel breaks.

It’s an excellent ultralight reel for the price. Rear drag for easy adjustment. Quick Fire II line pick up. Capacity 100 yds of 6#. Our older son’s first rod and reel are a 33 year old version paired with a Shimano FX 5’6” UL, and he still fishes it. The FX 5’0” UL rod is also a great bargain that can handle channel cats to 6#s.

Great reel for the money. Rugged, simple design is equally at home in the hands of a beginner to veteran angler. Rear drag system is positive and precise. Smooth cranking and positive bail action coupled with a removable Quick Fire lever make this reel an unbeatable value.
