Check the line capacity - I know that my Miravel 2000s reels hold the same amount as my Miravel 1000....so it really doesn't make a difference.

I’m curious if you’re referring to both a 1000 & 2000 size Miravel versus a 1000 vs a 2000 Shallow spooled version of Miravels? I ask as it’s my understanding they are both the same body size with the difference being the specific spools.

1000 and 2000 shallow spool, which I have one of the former, and two of the latter (as well as a 2500)

@MN Fisher Thanks for the response and I specifically asked as I’m hoping you can tell me if the spools are interchangeable between the 1000 Miravel & the 2000 shallow spool Miravel? If they are I would like to have the capability of swapping between Monofilament & braid with a simple spool swap.

I really don't know...have to check that out.

4 lb BPS Excel for me.

4lb Trilene XL, forever.

4 in the best. That SOS trout stuff @Flukeflicker mentioned is good, I got my first spool recently and I’m loving it, caught a few 18” SmB and a big drum with it too, held up just fine

6 will work ok

8 is pushing it

Im sure we got em with 12 and floating bread chunks when I was little but we tricked them first……
