    1000 size on my Leland and JDM rod. Pflueger President and the Legalis are nice reels. The Legalis is very smooth and a good drag.

    not a fan of 500/1000 or Pfleuger 20 sized reels. I like the 2000 sized or Pfleuger 25 sized. Slightly larger spools without being too big for the purpose. Line capacity isn't an issue, I just like the larger diameter, and sometimes taller spools because the line comes off more easily, and if you're using a line with a little memory like mono, or in my case fluoro can have, larger spools are a bit friendlier. I'm new to using fluoro as a main line, and so far, I've learned what gets you by as a leader may be absolute junk for mainline.

    I use 1000.. I tried the smaller ones but had a hard time with the line pulling off in a wad after a short time on the spool. Good luck, should be great ...

    I've had one Pfluger and it was a really nice reel. Don't find them around here of I'd have got another. I've also got a Schmino 2000 on a 6' Schmino rod. It's the only rod I have that pass's the balance test above. My favorite UL is an Okuma Ignite reel on a 5' Okuma UL rod. Cast 1/32 igs with it. I have 2# test SOS mono line on it. Don't recall ust what I paid for either right off but pretty sure it was under $40.

    I have the 5’4” panfish rod and have Vanford 500 reel. I would try van ford 1000 on longer rod. It’s light but expensive

    I have 7 foot st croix panfish med lite with daiwa regal 1000 not as good as above set up

    I bought a couple of 6ft Okuma Celilo ultralight rods and paired them with a Okuma 1000 size Stinson reels. The reels were to large so I switched them out with a pair of cheap Opix size 10 reels. They pair up much better with those rods.

    The Pflueger Supreme XT is an absolute work of art. With the magnesium frame it's light enough you could probably go up a size.

    My Son has always liked the full sized spinning reels but I personally like the middle sized, 2500 series reels. As far as line, I keep trying 10 lb test braid but always go back to my Trilene XL 6lb.
