Small and smooth reel
Very, very, light reel. Never thought they could make a reel this small be so smooth. Line wrap on spool is a little tight, but works good.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good reel
I owned a CI-4+ 1000 model for a few years. It was a great reel. I purchased the Vanford 1000 to replace the CI-4+. When it arrived, it was obvious the Vanford was just a CI-4+ with a couple of refinements. Shimano does this from time to time. They come out with a new model reel and advertise that it is the best thing ever discovered. I guess I fell for it. Don't get me wrong, this Vanford reel is a great item but in comparison to the CI-4+, The upgrades were almost not worth spending another $247.00. I always enjoy fishing with the latest reels. If it wasn't for this personality trait, I would have sent the Vanford back and pocket the money for something else.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
