Some wouldn't regularly and purposely use a 1000 size reel to target such fish. Quite a few UL fishermen use 2500 series reels. That said, I've caught plenty of bass up to 8 pounds with 500 and 1000 sized (and inexpensive models) reels. I fish almost exclusively with ultralight gear these days. The rod does most of the heavy lifting in most situations anyway.

It's the 10# trout 4#+ bass (small & large mouth) and catfish ranging up to 30+ inches.
