The Favorite U1 2000 is a versatile and budget-friendly spinning reel designed for anglers looking to build a reliable predator fishing setup without overspending. Despite its affordable price, it delivers smooth rotor rotation, quality line lay, and dependable performance for everyday spinning applications.
Equipped with 7 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing, the U1 provides stable operation while reducing the risk of unwanted play developing over time. Its rigid T60 nylon body keeps all internal components securely aligned while maintaining a lightweight overall construction.
The reel features an aluminium spool with a smooth lip for longer casting distances and a machined metal handle that screws directly into the drive gear, increasing durability and minimising handle play.
