I bought this 2000 size so that I can have the best of both worlds- not too small and not to bulky. It balances out perfectly on two of my different rods- my 5'9" trout rod and my 6'6 medium light rod. This reel is designed as a shallow spool only so it does not waste too much of any line that I put on the reel. Mainly I put 2 lb. land up to 6 lb. line fluorocarbon. The reel is balanced just right. There is hardly any wobbles in the reel at all when cranking the handle. The reel is so light that on my last trout fishing expedition, I fished all day casting and it didn't wear me out at all. The smoothness of the reel added to my G-Loomis TSR 690S-1 GLX made it a winning combo. You can feel any bump and nibble and especially strikes. Shimano has really set the bar on this one! The color scheme is exceptionally. The only thing that I wish they would do is add a slow oscillation to the reel to compete with the Abu Garcia Revo Premier and MGX.Read full review

Quality beyond expectations, well made, smoothest feel on the market we fish with, and we have four Stradic’s from 1000, 2000, and 2500. Fast retrieve so fast you hope you don’t have a snake or a gator in the line because they arrive quickly at the boat. Highly recommend
