All day long!!!
We wondered if this reel was really worth the price it was commanding. We do a lot of stream and inshore saltwater forays that can last all day. The super lightweight carry allows us to fish all day and no fatigue. The classic Shimano buttery smooth operation seals the deal. Well worth the asking price we paid for a reel that can be passed generationally! We were absolutely thrilled once we used it on the water! It casts effortlessly, retrieves lightning quick when we needed it to, and bail operates with a confident snap each time. It was like the reel was a non factor as we fought fish...as pure a fishing experience as we have had doing the ultra light fishing we love to do. I would imagine nothing but satisfaction from anyone who purchases this fine piece of engineering!!Read full review

Awesome reel
This is my first 1000 CI4 purchased specifically for ultra light fishing. Didnt think I'd like a non aluminum framed reel. Thought it would look and feel cheap. I was wrong. I liked the quality and feel from the moment I took it out of the box. Paired with a 6'9 Fenwick River Runner rod and 4lb mono, it casts like a dream. I caught a nice sized Pike my first outing with it and the drag operated flawlessly. This is a keeper!Read full review

Shimano Stradic 1000
As usual, Shimano continues to produce a great spinning reel, in the 1000 series reels. Quality Materials, engineering & craftmenship goes a long way. I've owned them since the early 90's.
Simple maintenance & they will last a lifetime of fishing. Didn't say catching them. That's another story altogether. But, having superior equipment really makes it easier to bring them to your net !Read full review

High Quality reel
I have several of these reels. One that is 9 years old with many days of use. Keep this reel somewhat maintained and it will last forever. Casts well, picks up line well and has a very smooth drag.

Awesome reel
All I can say is...WOW! What a gorgeous reel. Everything about it is high quality. Smooth as butter. This is one of those types of reels that are up there in price, but I guarantee you you will NOT regret the purchase. I have a bunch of high-end reels and this one by far is my Rolls Royce.Read full review

Great little reel!
I already have two of the 2500 series. The Stradic 1000 is very light and smooth. I currently have it paired with a 4’6” Lacroix premium rod. Great action when catching trout, crappie and small bass.

Great reel but pricy.
Reel is incredibly smooth lightweight. Definitely the best spinning reel I have ever used. Is it worth the price it's commanding? I say no unless you fish professionally or for a living.
