Very good, very strong brakes. I have the 4000 and I caught a big octopus. It brings the artificial bait very quickly!

It is really a very good choice. I chose the 2500 model, which may have 3 bearings (if I'm not mistaken), but it is Shimano, meaning QUALITY. It has a 4kg brake, which is satisfactory. I have used it for casting, but not for any big fish, with a thick pe#3 line, it took 150 meters. And for LRF with a pe#06 line, it took 300 meters. It is very convenient in terms of capacity for LRF because it is very large, but I didn't buy it for this purpose. However, it does everything incredibly. Now, if you want to get one for LRF, you can go for the 1000 or the Siena 500, also from Shimano, with a price difference of €20, if I'm not mistaken

I have it with the corresponding rod, it casts with a 0.25 fishing line, not less. It is one of the best reels for LRF and spinning

I have the 2500 in the lrf and it has pulled out palamides, manalias, and gofaria. It has fast recovery and its brakes are more than enough for the lrf. I encountered an issue with the bearings, which are only 3, when I lifted a gofari from a great height! The reel is very good for its price, but don't expect it to lift, for example, a fish for you.

I would say that it is an excellent little machine for its price. I have had it for two months now and it hasn't had any issues. I recommend it to those who are new fishermen. It is also quite powerful.

Very good for its price. It is perfect for spinning. Convenient handle, fast and lightweight. I didn't expect anything less from a Shimano product. It is truly worth it.

Very good quality, very beautiful and well-made, ideal for spinning. Shimano equals quality!

After 2 years, it is still a beast and I haven't cleaned it for a year for sure. Now I can confidently say that I have used it exclusively for HRF and it is perfect for HRF. It has caught up to 2 kilograms of sea bass so far.
