The Shimano 17 Plays 1000 is a compact yet powerful electric fishing reel designed for offshore boat fishing. Despite its relatively small size, it delivers strong torque and reliable performance, making it suitable for a wide range of target species.
The reel features Shimano’s powerful MUTEKI Motor, which provides excellent speed and torque for smooth electric retrieval. This motor system allows anglers to fight strong fish with confidence while maintaining consistent winding performance.
Its low-profile body design integrates smoothly with the rod, improving palming comfort and enabling easy one-handed operation. The quick-return clutch system allows anglers to switch the clutch on and off instantly using the thumb, ensuring fast response when a fish strikes.
For added versatility, the reel includes a depth display function with selectable “From Top” and “From Bottom” modes. This allows anglers to easily adjust fishing depth depending on instructions from the boat captain or the fishing technique being used.
The reel also features a temporary stop function that allows anglers to pause the electric retrieve instantly. This can help create natural bait presentation and also reduce motor load during heavy fights.
Equipped with durable carbon cross drag washers, the reel delivers smooth and powerful drag performance. Sealed components help protect against saltwater intrusion, and the reel can be rinsed with fresh water after use for easy maintenance.
The Shimano 17 Plays 1000 is a dependable electric reel for anglers targeting species such as horse mackerel, sea bream, grunt, flounder, and yellowtail in offshore environments.
