SHIMANO HYPERLOOP 1000RB

I payed a trip to the shed and found my match reel has gone(dragon carp shite) and with the pike season finished I need a new match reel that is in my 'college wage' budget i have found these and wonderd



Anyone had/got one
is there any PRO'S or CON'S?

I have the Shimano Alivio 2500 RB and am well pleased with it.

It is a little bigger than a 1000 sized reel but if you really want to go for that size, one is available. It comes with an aluminium spool as standard so you can put braid on if you want. I bought a spare spool for mine so I got one spool with 6lb mono for normal coarse fishing and the other spool has 10lb power pro braid on it for when I go spinning with smaller lures to target perch.

Here is the link to Shimano's webpage for the Alivio reels:

BTW, the price isn't a great deal more than the Hyperloop.

thanks lefty,
one question...with the reel sizes is it the smaller the number the bigger the reel?

The larger the number, the larger the spool capacity, generally..

thanks barry, I have always just picked up a reel I like I never really bothered about the size untill now......

Well I have a Shimano Alivio 2500 RB on order and it should come on tuseday.
Thanks for the recommendation lefty,

P.S where can i get spare spools from and how much?

From here:

http://www.manningstackle.com/shimano-alivio-spare-spool-174-p.asp

£7.69 inc. VAT and delivery. I bought my reel from his Ebay shop and have bought a spare spool from his online shop (above).

Make sure you select the correct reel from the drop down list.

Well my shimano alivio 2500RB came today, and i'm just spooling some 4lb line on it.. well pleased with it,
Thank you for the recommendation lefty,

I'm form nottingham, and have'nt a clue what that means?

its short for rat arsed! hahahaha

Get down to Devon & Somerset & try some Scrumpy, that will put hairs on your chest

is it a beer or whiskey/spirit?
The name seems familiar with my mothers side of the family(they make nice beer and cider).

Scrumpy is a potent form of cider made down in the South West of England. If I remember rightly the name came from a type of apple that was originally used to make it.

I personally don't touch the stuff as any cider, no matter how small a quantity makes me throw up. The most cider I've managed is half a pint before running to the toilet

I've always been a beer drinker and whisky is a nice tipple. but I have to totally leave alcohol alone due to my health now

Glad you like it Alex. I have the 4000RB too. I use that for heavier lures and for the odd bit of stalking too.
