tracker01 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I have read a lot about line management and it seems like when you get down to the 1000 size, a lot of guys use them with braid. As a rule these reels will take 2/4/6 # line (mono). I am basically a mono guy but I do not want any line management problems if I drop down to the 1000 size reel. Loops, line twist or whatever. I have 2500’s right now with no line management problems at all. Quote

Super User Darren. Posted January 27, 2015 Super User Posted January 27, 2015 I use Shimano Stradic 1000FI reels for my bass spinning setups. Absolutely love them. I have caught numerous 6-7 pound bass on these, too. I spool all my spinning reels with 10 pound Power Pro, and always tie a leader. These are great reels, plenty of heft to bring in beasts stuck in salad, too. I used 4-8 pound copoly lines in the past on these. Braid is SO MUCH better to manage it isn't even a question in my mind now. 1 Quote
thehooligan Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Pretty much what darren said. I only use 10lb braid as well on 1000's. 6lb copoly/mono would be the heaviest line id use on a 1000. 1 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 27, 2015 Super User Posted January 27, 2015 Braid and a leader is the ticket. 1 Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted January 27, 2015 Super User Posted January 27, 2015 I use 4lb Super Natural, or 4lb Tatsu, on my 1000 sized reels. Haven't had any issues yet. Have a spool of 4lb Sniper, but I haven't tried it yet. Quote
Super User deep Posted January 27, 2015 Super User Posted January 27, 2015 1000 size is ultralight territory. 2 or 4# mono or equivalent diameter braid should work fine. 1 Quote
Penguino Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 How do y'all tie knots with braid the size of 2 pound line? Quote
Super User deep Posted January 27, 2015 Super User Posted January 27, 2015 Umm, the same way you tie knots with 20 pound line? Quote
fisherrw Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 10 or 15 pound braid with a leader of 6 pound fluro should suit you fine. Quote
Penguino Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Umm, the same way you tie knots with 20 pound line? Lol no I'm just saying its incredibly hard to tie knots with tiny diameter fishing lines. Quote

Super User Darren. Posted January 27, 2015 Super User Posted January 27, 2015 Lol no I'm just saying its incredibly hard to tie knots with tiny diameter fishing lines. I never have problems with my 45 year old eyes, though sometimes reading glasses would be nice It is quite easy to tie Albrights or uni-to-uni leader knots with PP 10#. My leaders go up to 15# test. 1 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 27, 2015 Super User Posted January 27, 2015 I use 6lb copolymer without issue. Quote
wallie Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I like lighter spinning rods. 1000 size spinning reels are my favorites. I use 4-6 lb mono, 6-8 lb fire line, and 10 lb power pro for different species in different situations. I rarely had any line management issues. Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 28, 2015 Super User Posted January 28, 2015 This time of the year with the cooler weather and less humidity my hands get slippery, I'm using a duolcok. Once the weather warms up I'l be back to tieing direct to my lure. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted January 28, 2015 Super User Posted January 28, 2015 Braid and a leader is the ticket. Yup...what he said Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 There's no reason you can't use mono on a 1000 size reel. If that's what you're comfortable with and that's what you want to use then go ahead. Quote

If that's what you're comfortable with and that's what you want to use then go ahead. I am a mono guy. I have tried braid and always end up burying it in the crease of one of my fingers and "boom" nice cut. I got a bunch of good braid suggestions in case I want to try it again. Any suggestions on a good "limpy" mono for a 1000 spinner? Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Yozuri hybrid is really manageable in #4&6, as well as, cxx #4&6, cx, is very manageable all the way up to #20 IMO.. Maxima line, Triplefish, all of these lines are manageable in low llb test, as well as still maintaining much of their "inherent characteristics" I've used these lines above, and believe you will have great success with any of those.. If I were to recommend just one, Yozuri Hybrid.. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 4lb Senshi or Super Natural are great on 1000 reels. They're actually 4lb, rather than 8lb labeled as 4lb. Quote
KevO Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I use 6# sniper on my stradic 1000 and have not had any issues at all. Quote

Berkley Trilene XL in 4 or 6 pound test is a good option and it won't break the bank either. Quote
