SHIMANOFX Spinning Fishing Reel

Q: I bought a fx2000 and the reel goes backwards and wont lock is this normal?

The reel has switch that in the front that could be causing your reel not work right. If switch the lever the other side it should work right.

Q: Can I use it for saltwater surf?

No, the reel is way to small to use for fishing off the surf, it’s more used as light tackle and for catching smaller fish.

Q: Does ot have anti-reverse in the 1000 series reel

Yes. It's underneath, right behind the spool

Great cheap deal !!

Used on the bank for course fishing a.d worked a treat. Myv12yr old lad landed fish with ease.. Nice ring when battling with the drag.Also used it spinning for pike with lures and was ideal. Small reel but does a great job... bargain !!

Decent bit of kit!

Brought this to use on my spare rod, was using an Abu Garcia 506mk2 but had a number of troubles with that reel so grabbed this bad boy and it's been top tier! Highly recommend!

NOT a 2500 sized reel!

Absolutely NOT a 2500 sized reel. I have 2000 sized reels bigger than this, this is tiny, quite disappointed. That said, it's very smooth, but probably won't bother using it.
