Just OK reelThe reel seem ok for a beginner but the drag system is terrible. I bought the 2000..I would not recommend this size for bass or cat fishing..Go with the 4000. For $15 i would buy again but next time i will get the 4000 size.

I am returning this reelI bought this, along with a Bass Pro Shops Quick Draw Spinning Reel - Model QD10F, to try out two inexpensive spinning reels (which I never buy) on two rods I use to teach children to fish. Having owned several high-quality Shimano spinning reels in the past, I thought for sure that this would be better than the aforementioned Bass Pro Model QD10F... NOT. Don't go here given the better option of the Bass Pro reel for LESS $.

Great for the moneyBought this reel for small pond catfish and inland beach fishing. Paired it with a 7 ft MH rod works well for that and the whole combo was less than $40.

DependabilityI’ve been purchasing this reel in different models for roughly 25 years; my grandfather told me his favorite part of owning this reel is if you get sand in it, there’s no need to fix it, just throw it in the garbage and buy a new one.

great reelI got this reel when I was 6 years old. Now, at 14, I can safely claim that this is a solid purchase. It has caught several bass in its line of duty, and I have never had any issues with the drag or spooling. tangles are very rare as well.

Can't beat it!I use these for kayak and shoreline fishing for bass. I have 4 now in various sizes between 2000 and 4000 models. I've used them for everything, including setting up a nightcrawler rig for my 6 year old to shiner fishing for 10+ lb largemouth. I've had no issues whatsoever in the last 3 years I've had them. All I've done is replace line when needed and made sure to open it up and give it a good rinse after any exposure to brackish water to avoid any corrosion. I highly recommend this reel to anyone who needs a good reliable reel that'll last with normal care. It isn't fancy. It isn't terribly pretty, but it gets the job done time after time!
Use the 4000 size with at least 20# braided line for light tackle inshore/ surf fishing.

I was wondering if this reel would fit on a 5’6” Ugly Stik GX2 spinning rod? I want to try trout fishing and wondered if this is a good option. And if it is a good option for trout fishing which model would best for the GX2?
Asked by: Ozzylicious
Yes, both IX1000RC or IX2000RC model should fit. There's not much of a difference between the 2 in terms of size/weight. You can't go wrong with either of the 2.

Listed as an R1000, but the photos are of an R2000. Which is it?
Asked by: Shortcut56
Thank you for your question. The photo is a stock picture of what the reel is going to look like and the chart is all the models of the reel that we have to offer at this time.

Does it come with the pole also, or just the reel? Can I put stronger line in this reel?
Asked by: ALefever
Nope, no pole buddy. And you can run a line rated greater than what the spool capacity shows but, you'll end up with less than the ideal amount of line on the spool for when you're fish makes a run for it. Also take a look at the drag ratings, divide your line rating by half and you've got the max drag you need. Spool capacity is generally rated with mono thickness, So, technically you could run 10# braid on the smallest one and be fine.

Does the IX have a self centering anti-reverse....like the rear drag Spirex does? Meaning that when you have the anti-reverse in the "on" position, and crank backwards that the bail stops centered up in the 12 o'clock position for the next cast.
