  • Great budget friendly reel....
Style: 1000
Great value reel for the money. This is a good looking well built reel that casts, and retrieves smoothly. I noticed a little slop in the handle back and forth checking the anti-reverse but nothing that affects the reels function and not felt during normal use. I bought the 1000 series for a crappie fishing setup and fit a spool of 110 yds of 4 lb test mono on it. I own many Cadence products and love them all. Also Cadence has superior customer service. So if your looking for a good budget friendly reel you can’t go wrong with this Ideal Series Reel. ... show more

  • Premium features for an entry level price...
Style: 3000
Cadence continues to amaze me. Right out of the box, I was amazed at the clean lines, smooth action, and solid construction of the Ideal, for an amazing price. I paired it with a Cadence CR7 and took it out to a local reservoir to test out the drag, which I was curious about. Hooked into a couple of planters that gave me a chance to play with the drag. Nice and smooth throughout. Hopefully I’ll get into some hogs and really put this reel through the ringer. For the price, the reel really outperforms expectations. Completely satisfied. ... show more

  • Mixed thoughts.
Style: 4000
Ok this is the third cadence ideal I've ordered so I'm giving my impression. Well first off the box you receive there's no technical specs at all listed on it or even the model just the name cadence that's definitely a first for me since most manufacturers are proud to put the specs of the reel on the outside of the box. Then upon opening the box of course first thing you see is reel then under that is a tiny little bag with a piece of paper in it and two thin nylon washers and some crude instructions on the paper letting you know you may have to adjust the spool to get the line to lay correctly but fails to say that the two washers are different thicknesses which I still find strange that you would have to do that to a brand new reel and did have to use one to get mine to spool up straight after having to strip my line off and respool it again. But here's another thing that bothers me there's no paperwork or manual at all no parts diagram and no bearing specs printed on the reel so the claim of how many bearings are on it who really knows unless it's taken apart and counted. So none the less the reels feel fine and I like them very little play at all and smooth. I have a 1000 series that I thought would be a little smaller like a ultra light size but is a little bigger I have that on a 6ft med light rod and is a nice match. So I mentioned I bought 3 reels well the second was a 3000 series I was looking to set up on a 7'6 medium heavy rod I liked the 1000 I figured I'd try this and the ratio is a 6:2 so that's definitely a plus over some other competitors in this price range. Well when I received it the size was disappointing it was the size of a 2000 series reel and nowhere near the size of an actual 3000 and upon inspecting had a slight tight spot when rolling it around with your finger every revolution once you got to the top you could feel it so sent it back. This time knowing this about the size I ordered the 4000 series and as expected the 4000 is the same size as your standard 3000 I haven't got to use this yet but once winter is over plan on getting heavy use so we will see how durable they are. But from the impressions I've had so far I'm not giving it a blown away raving review like others. I know there a budget series reel but have purchased other brands that were even cheaper on here that still do just as good a job and actually come with a full parts diagram. ... show more

  • seemed legit i want one for myself
Style: 3000
bought for my first time fisherman lil brother , i did lots and lots of research and came to the conclusion this or the Sougayilang Fishing Reel 13+1BB Light Weight Ultra Smooth $30.99 ( was possibly the best budget reels on amazon, decided on this one literally only cause the handle size. had it shipped here so i could set it up for him so he knows what the proper drag feels like and how much line to spool. so i got to play with it some, i really liked the reel and think i would like one for myself, im huge into bass fishing, i bought him the 3000 series , and it was just a tad smaller than what i was hoping, so if i was to buy a reel for a 7ft medium heavy bass rod , id prob go with the slightly bigger 4000 series, if your fishing anything smaller than 6.5 ft medium action the 3000 will work good , i would assume the 2000 may make a good ultra light reel , ... show more

  • Cadence Ideal 1000
Style: 1000
I purchased the Cadence Ideal 1000 for ultralight stream fishing. Out of the box, the reel is very smooth, light and strong. I took it out twice and have no complaints. Got spooled by a big turtle before the end of the day and never once worried about drag smoothness or the reels strength. The braid ready spool is basically a rubber band but I don’t plan on using braid. The reel came with no schematics or info on the box other than washers for under the spool to even line lay which is helpful. Definitely worth the price for a non expensive reel. ... show more

  • Quality above expectations.
Style: 1000
So far it's exceeded expectations. In the 1000 series it's the perfect size for going after 1-2 lb creek smallmouths with 6 lb test. Very smooth , really good drag. At this price I was thinking there must be a plastic spool and gears ... Nope a nice aluminum spool and all metal gearing and quite smooth overall. I even picked up a second for a " spare " . ... show more

  • Amazing Value for the Price!
Style: 3000
I'll be honest, I was doubtful when I decided to try Cadence's new Ideal reel. I all ready had 3 other Cadence reels in my collection and they were great. But could Cadence produce an even lower priced reel and maintain the quality?? The answer is a resounding YES! In the darkness of the morning I grabbed a rod with my older Cadence reel and started casting. After about 20 minutes I decided to give the new Ideal reel a try. Was I ever surprised when I realized that I had all ready been using the Ideal! It casted as smoothly and as far as my other reels! But the best part is that great Cadence drag system! The place where I fish has a fair amount of pads and grass. So I load 20lb braid and tighten the drag as much as I can. I hooked a nice 4lb bass in the weeds and that Ideal never failed as I dragged him out! Great job Cadence! This reel is truly a deal and IDEAL! ... show more
