Thanks for the info !

the 1000FML (the ML stands for micro line) also has less drag it only has 2kg of drag and they claim it is specialy designed for light lines... I have both and they are both great, however I don't think you can get spare spools for the FML yet...

if you look at the specs for the reels they almost weigh the same only .1oz difference..

1000FML means 1000x F-DohDohDoh My Life... so don't even bother going there! lol

Will the spool from the 1000F fit on a 1000FML?

Am I right in assuming the spool is the only difference?

You'd have to check the schematics and have a look at the spool support. On some reels the shallow finesse spools have a second bearing, so that it's supported on 2 bearings. The spool shaft will have a slightly larger step machined in it for that bearing to sit on.

The stop may not allow the deep spool to sit on the shaft at the correct depth, as it may be drilled to accept the smooth shaft of the 1000 model.
