6lb mono on 1000 sized reel

[Jcj90]

Any line management issues or am I good to go?

   I have a NASCI 1000. I keep 4 lb. line on it. I tried some 6 lb. lines, but only 6 lb. Magnathin was OK. I liked the 4 lb. lines a LOT better. Surprisingly, twist wasn't an issue with the 6 lb. lines. It was distance and line lay.                jj

Thanks I’ve always found 4 to be much easier casting than 6

I like 4# too.

Nope - I got 6# Sufix Elite Mono on one and 6# InvizX FC on the other...no problems...of course I use KVD L&L on them...may make a difference.

I use 6 lbs trilene XL and sunline super natural on my 1000 size reels with no issues. Whatever line you go with, just make sure it's a limp line. Line conditioner also helps.

I use 6# line on my 1000 and 2000 reels.  I have too many break offs with 4#.  I only use two lines, Pline original mono and Seaguar fluorocarbon.

Yeah, it's fine. Depends a lot on the stiffness and diameter of the specific line you're looking at, but I think 6lb's just fine for a 1000 reel.

 

FWIW, I don't use anything but braid as mainline on spinning.

It should be fine. I use 6 lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid on a CI4+ as my go-to panfish setup on a L/F rod. It works so well I've never found a reason to change it or question it. Even if you're using it on a higher power rod for bass, if you're comfortable with the 1000 size, 6 lb should be good.

 

4 lb will probably cast better. I settled on 6 lb because at 4 the line is getting too thin for me to tie knots easily, and because it's the same line I use for a ML/F bass setup (2500 reel).

Spool depth/capacity is a deciding factor in what line works and lays best on a reel.  

 

1000 size doesn't quite define that, and you're going to find a fairly wide range of spool depths and capacities in 1000 size reels.  

100 m of quality 4-lb fluoro isn't enough on many 1000 spools, and might find that 6-lb is just perfect.  You're going to get much better line lay by fitting the correct line diameter for the spool design than by stacking extra yards to fill a spool.  

 

This is YoZuri 6-lb copolymer on a 1000 spool, and next is PE#0.5, 4-lb fluorocarbon on an 800 UL spool.

I use Sufix Siege 4 and 6 pound mono on my 1000 size shimanos, no issues at all.

You may want to try 15lb braid equivalent to 6lb mono. You can add a leader if you want.

I used 5# (.008D) Maxima Ultra Green Copolymer line for over 25 years on Stradic 1000 reel. Learn to manage line twist, every spinning reel will twist line.

YZH is thick for its diameter 6# manages like an 8# test. I run 4# YZH which breaks at about 8 lbs.

 I’m curious if using a 1000 reel with 6lb mono will be best for average size trout(14-18in). Using an ultralight setup (ugly stick elite) and trying to decide on a 1000,2000, or 2500 reel. Fishing mostly lakes and reservoirs with stained water. What’s going to give me the best spool and smoothest casting. Any help is much appreciated!
