    Default Spinning reel for Bass, Crappie, and Panfish.

    I am wondering is a Shimano Stradic 1000FG a good spinning reel for light duty fishing. I would like to do it to do double duty fishing for crappie and bass.

    Yeah I don't see why not. Braid or mono? 10# braid should make it all purpose. 1000fg holds 140 yds of 4lb mono so the braid will upgrade it.

    I have a Stradic 2500 on a 7ft med lite shimano clarius rod, it's effertless to cast and use it for stripers. You won't regret the 1000, it's SAWEET!

    I also been looking at the Stradic 2500. I would like to use my Abu 6500C3 for Catfish and Striped Bass but I need another rod!

    I have three of the 2000 stradics with st. croix rods I use for bass and crappie. I have 10 pound braid on two of them and mono on the other. They have served me well for over 15 years and still going strong.
