I have four of these gems, each with its own loaded spool fo vary line weight.
For a light duty spinning reel, this item is top in its class. Once the new owners use the unique trigger-cast system, they won't want to switch back to the old bail-flipping method. For heavier work, Shimano offers its 2000, 3000 and 4000 series.

Lightweight, suitable for lightweight domestic use only.
1 of 1 found this helpful Although the motor windings were properly installed, the shaft itself was coated with a plastic or ceramic material to the final 1/2" diameter, meaning the windings were separated form the shaft by a frangible material which broke with vibration. The unit is no longer serviceable, so I have replaced it with a more expensive, but all-metal (thus, unbreakable) unit that meets my needs.

Good and inexpensive, uses a couple on every trip
3 of 3 found this helpful Very reasonable prices found on eBay, this is the largest Shimano I use ( this sis the fourth) because I use and like the trigger-finger casting gizmo all the time. I use this reel across a range of rods so I can go lightweight to heavy-duty rigs without the task of changing out lines on each one of them as a day's fishing activities change. Also very easy to change lines when essential, by having a couple of extra spools in the box with line already wound and in place: the handy line clips help keep snarls to a minimum.
