Performs flawless, nice line lay, casts a mile, extremely dependable.
This is my second Shimano Nexave reel.
The first one I bought is still going strong with no issues. Routine care and they last forever.

Great for the price.I purchased this reel to use as an inshore reel and one that I could also use as a backup for freshwater. The reel is great. It casts smooth and I like the drag. Though the reel handle seems small for a 2500.

Got this reel as a backup to my Spheros 8000. Very smooth operation with plenty of cranking power due to its low gear ratio and trademark Shimano gears. A great purchase for $59.99!

Paired the 1000 with a Fenwick HMX LMF and its performs great for crappies and other panfish.
I own the 2500 and I love the design

First week out surf fishing I shot the bearings.
More bearings are on the way from third party.
The 2500 I own I use primarily for the waterway and it takes a dip and it hasnt given me a problem.
Surf fishing is just rough on reels and bearings are not cheap.
I love these reels.
Good reel for a cheap price of admission but not built to last

I have fished this reel in the surf almost every day for the past month and a half. It has the typical shimano qualities and is very smooth. I have lost count on how many stripers I have caught with this reel and it has handled them well. For someone who fishes only a few times a month this is a great reel for the price. If you're a surf rat like me then you need an upgrade in… read more the durability department

Difference between FE and FEC?
Bernie

The fe is sold in a box the fec is sold in a clam shell. The clam shell packaging is a clear plastic package like you would see on a shelf in a big box store like walmart.

What is a clam pack?
Alex T

A clam pack is typically for big box retail stores, this just means instead of the standard 'box' that reels come in, it is instead in a bifold clear plastic packaging that closes around the reel like a 'clam'
