I didn’t see any braid at the marina to use with that reel. Probably should have ordered some with the reel

The reel has a 1000 series body with a 2000 series size spool...the gear ratios for both reels are the same. All Shimano and Daiwa reels in the 1000 and 2000 series have the exact same body....just different spools. The reel body size doesn't change until you move up to the 2500 size.
