Questions about Shimano IX Rear Drag Freshwater Spinning Reel

Can you change the spool so you can change different weight lines?

Answer: Yes it does not come with an extra spool so you have to find the right one for that reel

Answer: yes if you can find the same spool.

Answer: The reel does not come with a spare.

How do I remove the spool because when I twist it to the left the spool stays on and makes drag sounds

Answer: When you say to the left, is that from looking at it from the top? Because I had to remove mine recently and it came off no problem. Also try tighting the drag at the bottom and if it doesn't work in one direction try the other.

Answer: Tighten your drag down more then you should be able to take it off

Answer: Push in on front of spool. Should pop right off. Does not "screw" on/off.

Answer: I don't know. I didn't have any problem with this reel...Sorry ;(

Would this work with 12lb line

Answer: Of course even a 20lb but remember to just find the thinest line that you could.

Answer: 12lb works great with it. Get a good rod and your set.

Answer: It will work but not very well I use 2-4

Answer: Yes. I use 14 myself.

Answer: Yes

Do it include a pole?

Answer: no it dont

Answer: No

I had a new one of the 4000 series just fail on me. I was testing it out before going fishing, for the first time with it. Then the drag just stopped?

Answer: I haven't had that happen to me....I'd send it back. By the way, when not in use, the drag on a spinning reel should be kept very light, hardly on. This way the springs don't get stressed while it's just sitting.

Answer: I would add too, wash the reel off with fresh water, after every single time you use it in the saltwater. I do this with all my reels, and it helps, a lot.

Which model is the first size option? i can't tell if it is the r1000, r2000, etc. the 4.1:l label is the gear ratio, which is the same for all mode

Answer: The 1000 is the smallest. If I remember correctly, it is recommended for 2-6 lb line. The 2000 I just looked at says 6-8-10 lb. 4000 is pretty big and says 8-10-12

Answer: The only thing I have seen is the that the 1000 has a smaller spool. If you put the 1000 next to 2000 the 2000 holds more line . Personally I crappie fish , I don’t need the extra line .

Answer: i have 4000 , it seems ok for casting 10g- 30g but i prefer it for short surf fishing

Will the ix 4000r work with a medium action rod

Answer: A 4000 reel will work on virtually any rod made for spinning reels. The IX4000 will hold plenty of line for fighting almost any fresh water and virtually all inshore salt water fish. I have caught Snook, Tarpon, Spanish and King Mackerel, Tuna, etc. with a Shimano IX4000 reel. The drag will not be able to be set for lines heavier than 20#, but I sometimes use 30# braid and having the drag set a little low does not hurt me at all.

Answer: Light to med would be fine you can even use a heavy action rod but that wouldn't make much sense because the string for this real would be a light to medium test but it would work

Answer: yes, little large but will work. Great reels.

Answer: He's a little small for medium but will work

Answer: Yes, my grandson used it with a medium rod,

1) For the ix2000r and ix4000r respectively, how big (weight) of fishes can you get on average? Do you put heavier lines on the 4000r?

Answer: I purchased the 2000 model, but I use it for fresh water fishing, the 4000 model is more for salt water fishing as far as weight of a fish each one could support, I'm sorry but I wouldn't be able to tell you. Check with a local bait and tackle shop I'm sure they would be able to answer your question.

Answer: Hi, I use 14 or 17 pnd test.... on all of them... Dont know for stronger line...

The picture is upside down?

Answer: lol Not upside down but one twist to the left. the arms where it attaches to the reel in the photo are on bottom. The drag in the photo is on the right which in a correct photo is facing down.

Answer: Yes

Answer: yes it is

Big reel for fishing big fish

Answer: I have used the Shimano IX4000 reel to catch Snakeheads in fresh water here in South Florida, and Snook, Sea Trout, Tarpon, Spanish and King Mackerel, Tuna, Cobia, etc. in salt water. My son caught a 46 inch long Snook on an IX2000 so these reels really work well and hold up better that they should for what they cost. I just wash the salt water off of them, being careful to not force water up under the spool (or you will have to take the reel apart and lubricate it from inside - no big task).

Answer: what do you mean by 'big fish'? I have caught 3lb bass with no problem, im sure it could handle heavier fish also.

Answer: Not really. Better for bass and bluegill

Answer: With proper line yes, freshwater only !

Answer: Not really

How was this reel packaged when you received it? Mine just arrived sitting loose in the Shimano box with no secondary wrapping or manual.

Answer: It arrived fine & new in the factory box; in a brown padded envelope. No manual, that would have been nice; bit it's fine.

Answer: My reel had secondary packaging and a small manual.

Answer: Mine was fine in the original shim box and then in another box with bubble wrap but I bought 4 at the same time

Answer: Box had everything and was sealed like a new product. Sounds like you got a model or maybe a used one?

Answer: It came in a sealed clear plastic container.

Is the reel made of plastic?

Answer: The reels are a composite...so, I suppose they are some sort of plastic, but I've got three of them, and they seem pretty tough actually.

Answer: It's a combination of graphite and plastic.

Answer: I believe the spool is plastic but the main frame is metal. I have enjoyed these reels.

Does this reel come with line?

Answer: No

Como encuentro productos que se pueda enviar a Costa Rica

Answer: buscar envío internacional, sería mi mejor conjetura

How do I remove spool on the R 4000?

Answer: I assume you are talking about the IX 4000R. Tighten the drag all the way and turn the spool counter clockwise

Answer: Turn the spool counterclockwise.

Can i install it on okuma tundra surf glass spinning rods (15 feets)? sorry i am a begineer

Answer: This reel, even the smaller versions, works very well on virtually any rod made for spinning reels. To say otherwise is showing limited experience and ignorance. There are some reels made just for some types of rods, but that is only if you want optimum performance, which may not really be worth it in the end. I use braided line with mono at the working end and with a long rod can cast out there with the best of them with my Shimano IX4000 reel.

Answer: It will not perform properly. The largest (4000) works on a 7 foot medium action rod, that's what I use.

Answer: I'm not sure, I would think so !

Answer: Yes of course!

What is the model zix1rcbs56ul2?

Answer: R1000

Is this a combo rod and reel? What are the specs on the rod?

Answer: No, this is the reel only. I recommend a Shakespear Ugly Stick for this reel.

Which model is the first size option? I can't tell if it is the r1000, r2000, etc. the 4.1:l label is the gear ratio, which is the same for all models

Answer: 1000 holds least line 2000 next 4000 is more for saltwater or big cat fish

On the drop down menu to select which reel. What does the part "8/120 inch"mean? Thanks a Lot!

Answer: its a reference to the line weight and the amount of line that will fit onto the reel. In this case 8/120 means that is you use 8 pound line you could fit roughly 120 yards onto the reel.

Answer: I believe it's 8lb line and 120yds referring to the recommended line limit of the reel.

Would this work well on a 6'6" MH rod for inshore saltwater snook and tarpon around 46in..

Answer: This is a larger reel and yes I believe it would work well on a 6'6 pole for hard fighting fish!

Answer: I would suggest going for ML instead of MH.

Answer: It is a really good reel for fishing in this price range, but don't know for your kind of fishing. But, I should try.... ;(

Would this fit well with a 4 foot trout rod ?

Answer: The 2000 size might be on the big side for a 4ft rod. For a 4 ft rod I would go with a 1000 size. I'm not sure if this reel comes in a 1000 size though.

Answer: If it's for bass yea, but it's for smaller fish it's to big. I use the 1000 for crappie @brim. A 4ft rod is much shorter than I use and I have12 different rigs. Hope this answers question

What fits a. 7 ft rod) (telescopic rod)

Answer: I personally don't use telescopic rods ( even though they are very portable) I always go with a 1 piece rod. To answer your question, it honestly depends on what your fishing for and the size of the rod your fishing with. The 4000R model fits 8lb-12lb mono, it doesnt catch braid to well so mono is best for these reels. I use the 4000R with either 6'6 or 7'0 rod and have had no problems. The drag system on this reel is great.

Answer: No problem with a 7ft telescopic rod. It's a good reel.... ;)

Would this work with 20 lbs line

Answer: mono is a little stiff and has a momory till it gets god and wet. kvd line treatment will help . not knowing what kind of fishing you are doing, what size reel you are looking at is a factor. these reels work great with braid. our fish here in Okeechobee are not line shy. I hope this is of some help. I would not use 20#florocarbon,to stiff

Answer: It would work but it’s to me it’s way too big are use Four and six lbs

con que caña shimano puedo usar este carrete para espinning

Answer: Si, claro

Does it come with line already on it

Answer: No. You will need to spool it with line yourself.

Answer: Sorry, it was over 2 years ago and I don't recall

Answer: No,it does not

Can the handle be switched from left hand cranking to right hand?

Answer: Yes, the reel is able to swap sides to accommodate both left and right handed.

Answer: yes and understand that this reel is one of the most famous reels in fishing history

Answer: YES WITH NO TOOLS EASY

Answer: yes

Answer: Yes very easy

Answer: yes

what size reel is this?

Answer: Not sure what you mean by that, but its a normal size reel, not a tiny one (which i own also). This reel will hold 170 yards of 6lb line, 120 yards of 8lb or 100 yards of 10lb. Hope this helps

Answer: Its your standard spinning reel. Looks small in the picture, but it's average sized.

Answer: R 2000 I use 4lb test 6/8 would work fine

Answer: 2000

How many ball bearings does this reel have?

Answer: It's working very well. I don't regret this buy.

Answer: 3

Is the ix2000 a good pair with shimano stimula 6'6 medium rod with 10lb line for lake/river fishing?

Answer: Hi, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes this would be a good match. Hope this helps Thanks

Answer: Yes

How long is the rod ?

Answer: Does not come with rod, I use 6' ultra light.

Answer: Five and a half feet

Can you use braided line without a backing?

Answer: i think it will slip

Size says 8/120 inch. that's got to be ft or yds though right? should spool up to 120yds with an 8lb line. or am i reading that wrong?

Answer: That is exactly right. 8lb line would be about 120 yards

You are showing a picture of the R4000, but your description is of a R2000, which is available at this price?

Answer: Go to http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-IX2000RC-24-Spin-Reel-Clam/dp/B006BYPBNA/ref=pd_sim_sg_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0VPHBRZT2FZTWN9CW253. You can choose from all three sizes. The 1000 is the smallest, the one listed as 8/120 is the 2000 or medium size, and of course the 4000 being the large one. Better prices too. All are very good. I have the older version FX1000 from about 20 years ago and it is still going strong. It is essentially the same reel. On the newer FX, they went to an aluminum spool, and front drag for more money. Not as good IMO. I also have an IX 2000 from about 7-8 years ago. Also still going strong.

Answer: I don't know I bought it from Amazon Warehouse deals and it was the R4000 at a very low price. A very strong and good real.

Will this reel fit my Shakespeare rod?

Answer: It should fit any medium to light gauge rod I'm not sure if it would fit on a large heavy action Rod like for cat fishing or something

Answer: Yes assuming its a light or medium rod

Answer: it should

Is the reel made from Japan?

Answer: Nothing I can find on the reel itself says where it is made and I no longer have the box. My guess is Japan, although they have offices in the U.S. Of course, I bought a reel from U.S. Reel company that said made in China once. I personally love these reels because of the quickfire. They are by no means precision instruments - single ball bearing and 4.1:1 gear ratio - but they get the job done at a great price

Answer: I really cant say but I can tell you it's a great reel for the price dont underestimate it you will be very satisfied

Answer: I have purchased the IX 1000R and IX 2000R models, both are made in Malaysia.

Answer: China

Answer: Malaysia

Can you reverse the handle from left to right?

Answer: Hi, yes. This a nice reel. You will be impressed. Thanks and have a great evening

4000R Slider retainer clip location on shaft does it bracket oscillating Slider?

Answer: the slider bar doesnt move up and down, only the spool does that

can i get a spare spool anywhere?

Answer: At your local sporting goods store should be able to order it for you !!

Answer: sorry no sure where but i'm sure you can these are one of the most famous reels known to man

Would ix2000 reel be good for dropshot fishing or should i look somewhere else. main line would be braid with more than 10lb test.

Answer: Depends on what you are for, its a light reel but good quality. 10 pound is braid is very strong, but the gears in the reel would be on light side.

Answer: I DO NOT KNOW WHAT DROP SHOT FISHING IS ... BUT I HAVE 20# BRAID ON MINE

Just to confirm, this is a ix2000 rather than ix1000, correct? i prefer a ix4000.

Answer: If it's a ix2000, it's a ix2000.... I just can answer it work well…..

Answer: I got the 4000. They are rather small reels.

Answer: Yes, this is the 2000. I have purchased all three sizes on amazon. Just read the details so you do not get them confused if you would rather have the 4000.

what shimano reel takes a no 4 graphite push button spool?

Answer: idk, this one is not push button spool change

I'm sure the IX2000r is a rear drag reel but when I add it to my cart the description changes to front drag - what's up?

Answer: Rear drag never had it say that on mine

Is the 1000r to big for a 6ft ultra light rod?

Answer: I would think it is too big for a smaller rod. I use it on an 8ft rod and it's perfect for that. I'd go with a smaller model.

Answer: I'd say slightly big. It's a good, decent, sized spinning reel. Perfect reel to have our to teach someone, yet sturdy enough to land a prize. Wouldn't consider it ultralight, but light enough to bring you a surprise.

Answer: It was given as a gift, therefore I don't know. I have been told that this reel is extremely smooth and it is used on a lightweight rod.

Answer: Close l have it on alight rod

Answer: It will be a nice fit.

Which model is the first size option? i can't tell if it is the r1000, r2000, etc. the 4.1:l label is the gear ratio, which is the same for all mode

Answer: The 1000 is the smallest. If I remember correctly, it is recommended for 2-6 lb line. The 2000 I just looked at says 6-8-10 lb. 4000 is pretty big and says 8-10-12

Answer: The only thing I have seen is the that the 1000 has a smaller spool. If you put the 1000 next to 2000 the 2000 holds more line . Personally I crappie fish , I don’t need the extra line .

Answer: i have 4000 , it seems ok for casting 10g- 30g but i prefer it for short surf fishing

Can I use this reel for saltwater fishing?

Answer: Yes its lightweight, but very good reel. i live in the south and it could be good for speckled trout.

Answer: yes

Can I buy extra spools & handles etc? Thanks!

Answer: you would have to direct your question to the manufacturer.

Product reviews of Shimano IX Rear Drag Freshwater Spinning Reel

B. Cord Edleman Jr. : Quick dilevery!

Feels tactile almost,in my hand.Love the all around graphite construction.It will last for years!
Going to test it ASAP then post more. ;)
Great reel. Love the feel of this in my hand knowing it won't slip if wet!

Gunnygoody : Gr8 reel.

Gr8 reel. Love it. Just like my first spin cast years ago. Highly recommend ????.

Frank H : Get this if it is available

I only buy Shimano and have had these (low end) ones for years. I also have the top end but these always do the job. Can't beat the price

Mark : Good stuff

Have about seven of these in use, all great product!

N .C. : My favorite do it all low price fishing reel

I have all 3 sizes and have 1 over 20 years old and going. They work great for fresh or salt water fishing. I use the 1000 on a altar light rod to make sun fish feel like monster fishing the 2000 for bass and trout some times ended up with a catfish or turtle I use the 4000 for the big lake fish and salt water pulled in 4 foot sand sharks lots of times

Gunnygoody : Gr8 reel.

Gr8 reel. Love it. Just like my first spin cast years ago. Highly recommend ????.

JT in Kansas : I too own a ton of these little babies (over a dozen), and I fish alot.

I have never had one fail me. They may not be ultra smooth and when the drag has not been moved in a few months it takes a slight "set" so I just move it (test it) to free that up. That needs to be done anyway (check the drag setting) before going out for larger fish who might be pulling out some drag. But these reels are light weight, they bring the line up to my finger every time and then I can either use the quick fire lever or just open the bale manually - my choice. I have more expensive reels and they just aren't worth the money to me. I'd rather have a dozen of these than have one $150. heavier reel. One tip, I try to stop cranking so the handle is in the rear position. That way the weight of the crank handle tries to back crank itself which holds the bale against the back crank stop. Otherwise the crank might take the bale forward slightly which can cause slack in the system when you need to set the hook on a fish or forany other reason. It keeps things right where they should be. That is the only quirk that I can see to this "quick fire" system and that is easily compensated. Having a half dozen rods in the boat, rigged and ready allows me to quickly and easily try another presentation and also put one down after a hangup and breakoff then retie later, at home, rather than waist that time when I should be fish'n.

sara bellum : Better than expected.

I'm new to fishing, and this reel is easy to use. I actually paired it with a Beefstick for crab snaring, because I was on a tight budget. I ended up catching a leopard shark baby on a crab snare.

Phil Pope : Great beginner's reel!

Got this for my wife who's just beginning to accompany me fishing. It's so easy to use, she was immediately able to cast unassisted within minutes. The drag adjustment placement is just perfect for her. Go buy it!

Bryan : Good basic reel

The Shimano R2000 spinning reel is an ok reel . It would be good for throwing in the back of a pick up truck and not worrying about damaging it because it's so cheap . The loose anti-reverse keeps it from being a good beginners reel , you just can't keep the line tight because of it . It only has one anti-reverse lock position so it can reverse up to 99% of a rotation before it hits the lock . The spool is threaded and spins on instead of having a release button . Absolutely no frills here .

M. O. : Great for beginners

Hard for my young nephew to break

Kg : Im Glad Shamino still makes this reel Available

I had several of these reels in the 80's some still work today -- I wanted another one a little bigger and teh 4000 is perfect -- easy to use and build very well

Amazon Customer : One can buy at least ten of these for the price of one real good and real inexpensive

Cost less than the fishing line you put on it. Will last several years even used in saltwater. Still using ones that I bought three years ago. All in saltwater.

Dee Cee : I recommend this product.

Love it

Dennis : Amazing!!

This thing is awesome! Works amazing i didnt read that it came with a pole and both work amazing. The reel glides like nothing and the pole can bend almost it knots without breaking. I was reeling in a good size trout and the pole was almost touching itself and still was working beautifully

tom webb : The quality hasn't changed

I have been using this exact reel for over 20 years absolutely love it.

Phil Pope : Great beginner's reel!

Bryem : Solid, Quality Reel for a Great Price !

Good quality solid reel, excellent value for the money. I’ve caught some nice fish with this reel and the drag is smooth and works well. You dont need to spend $50 plus for a good reel, I’ve had other low priced Shimano reels last a long time, as will this one.

Michael : Decent

First off this is not front drag. It is a rear drag reel which is why I wanted it in the first place. Unfortunately the rear drag knob is plastic, and has a tendency to break. Could be constructed from aluminum, or even a pot metal, would be better. Also would not raise the price much. It is a great reel for the price. Looking at the negative reviews for this reel, and I am just amazed at how many people complain that it feels cheap. REALLY??!! It IS cheap. Yet, it is a much, much better reel than Shimano's Syncopate, which costs twice what this reel costs. I've completely trashed 2 of those, like they literally were no longer functional, triggers no longer worked, bails bent beyond repair, and snapping closed during casts, and they were a couple years newer, and had far fewer casts and fish on them, than the one of this model I have. It is still going strong. Don't use it as much as I used to anymore, but it is a great inexpensive reel for kayak fishing because of the quick fire system.

SlickPulla : Fish Whip

These reels are way better than price suggest. I bought the 1000 just to try out and landded a 11lb flathead catfish with no prob, on 10lb braid. They sail when you cast so u can really get out there if u need to. Strong and E-Z to cast for rookies becuz of the trigger feature. So I ordered the 2000 and the 4000. Tight lines baby!

lnu238 : Love these reels, gonna be a sad day when they are all gone!

Love it, NIB......sweet!

B. Cord Edleman Jr. : Quick dilevery!

fred : I don't think they make a bad

shimano. I don't think they make a bad product

David Wilson : Great price

I have 3 of these already. Like the trigger release and rear drag.

Amazon Customer : Warning: It will spoil you. You'll want to replace ALL your reels!

If you have never used a quickfire spinning reel please do! You will be spoiled, and never want to use anything else!! Also all shimano reels are very smooth and very sturdy! This was my 9th shimano reel purchase! I still have the first one purchased in the 1980's! Has held up under literally 1000's of days fishing!

wpwIII : it's OK, but

hard to start retrieve, good price

Country Shopper : Great Value

Great Value for the money.

Phil Pope : Great beginner's reel!

hcl : Five Stars

Good reel...very smooth

JNB : Best priced spinning reel out there.

It feels a little cheap and when you stop reeling and the handle recoils backwards for a while before it locks. However, the price is good enough that I still give it five stars despite that issue.

I fish every weekend and own 3 of these now. I see no reason to get a more expensive spinning reel.

JG : a good entry level reel

Pros: cheap, durable, easy set drag

Cons: when the the drag is fully tightened, the wheel can still turn when using 8 or 10lb line. this is not good when you try to free a stuck hook and have little space to move.

but overall a good entry level reel

SRP846 : Great Shimano Reel

love the reel, has easy to use features, would buy again.

Karen : Hubby gift

I got this as a gift for husband

wpwIII : it's OK, but

hard to start retrieve, good price

wpwIII : it's OK, but

hard to start retrieve, good price

wpwIII : it's OK, but

hard to start retrieve, good price

Amazon Customer : Fishing pole

Nice fishing pole

Mark : Good stuff

Have about seven of these in use, all great product!

Eddie : Nice

Product as described

Todor : Five Stars

You cant get anything better for the money

Mohamed Faizal Bin Nordin : Worth the buy

The product was received in abox. The reel is pleasantly light enuf to be used for inshore fishing. Not the most lightest reel but at this price, it is practically unbeatable. Bearing is smooth and i am happy with the drag system. Worth the money. Cheers

Michael : Decent

Thomas Leo Ogren : (they are very inexpensive) this is an excellent reel. I wish the spools would handle more ...

For the money, (they are very inexpensive) this is an excellent reel. I wish the spools would handle more line, but the drag on these reels is quite good, and it makes noise (which you want!) when a fish is ripping line off the reel. I might add, too, that these light carbon reels, they don't tarnish (when used in salt water) as quickly as many metal reels.

Mohamed Faizal Bin Nordin : Worth the buy

Amazon Customer : Fish on

The reel is a work horse and I love the rear drag and smooth I like it better then my $150 reel

SRP846 : Great Shimano Reel

love the reel, has easy to use features, would buy again.

D Norman : Bad purchase

It’s lightweight, and that’s about it. Doesn’t set well when casting , should have went to Walmart an bought one

Sonny : Finally found a rear drag reel

I have used this reel for 20 years and it finally died. Just flat wore out the gears in it. I searched everywhere for a replacement because I hate top drag reels since the drag is always changing with them. Finally, I found the one that I had before. Lets hope for another 20 years with the new one.

Dave Berkley : Good

Light weight wrks

SRP846 : Great Shimano Reel

love the reel, has easy to use features, would buy again.
