These are great moving water reels. By that I mean creeks/streams and rivers. The 4:1 gear ratio is excellent for spoon and spinner retrieval in moving water. I find it a little slow for ponds and lakes, but it just requires a little more speed on my part to get the proper action from lures in still waters. As they are at 4:1, so long as you choose the proper weight of lure for your water, it's very comfortable to get spinners like panther martins running as intended or to get the right action on a spoon like a krocodile etc.
The drag control being on the bottom of these reels adds to the length/size of them, but it's also conducive to good balance. I suppose some of it depends on the rod you choose, but I have this 1000 paired with a 4 piece 5' ugly stick and the balance point is exactly behind the trigger ahead of the mount. When I had a much more expensive front drag control reel on the 4 piece, the balance point was at least an inch and a half further forward. I have one of the 2000s on a medium/light 7' ugly stick and the balance point is exactly behind the trigger ahead of the mount. ... It may not matter to everyone where the balance point is, but when I was a kid, I was taught it matters for long and/or accurate casting. My decades of experience tell me it seems to be true that the balance point relationship to the position of your hand while casting makes a big difference.
My oldest lx2000 is a two-tone grey/black and has to be getting close to 25 or more years old. It has been in service the whole time. I couldn't even guess how many thousands of casts or hundreds of fish it has reeled in. So, durability and reliability are worth mention. Just because these reels are inexpensive doesn't mean they are cheap. They hold up well.
Now if you get a big fish on and it is screaming line out and you need to adjust your drag. You have to get your fingers very very close to that line to adjust it. With a good sized fish on the far end that light is tight, and moving fast. Brush up against it and it is almost like feeding a finger into a saw. It can burn, cut, slice your skin quickly.
So I like rear drag reels, but rear drag spinning reels seem to be going out of style.
So when I noticed these I thought this is a good chance to get 2 more solid rear drag reels in my box of gear.
I was not expecting a lot from a 15$ reel, even one with Shimano's name on it. Boy was I surprised.
This reel is solidly built, silky smooth from drag, to reeling, to tripping the bail after casting. Smooth is the word that describes it top to bottom. No vibration, no wobble, no hickups, no problems. Just quiet smooth performance. Which is what you want.
Now I don't know how long this reel will last. It is winter up here in the Dakota's, it will be May before I start fishing.
If this reel fails before September you can bet you'll hear about it from me. But I don't think it will.
