Excellent reel very pleased I chose cadence packed up few years ago for personal reasons back fishing now chose cadence for my new start and boy did I make the right decision love the videos you put out and my dog is also called Monty a black lab all my new gear will be cadence look forward to giving you more orders thank you James and staff,
I bought two of these reels at the end of 2025 ready for use in the coming Spring. I already had a pair of the excellent CS10 4000 reels but wanted a lighter reel for all day lake waggler fishing and trotting. I can't be more pleased. The 3000 is beautifully finished and ideal for use with my light float rod. As with all the tackle I have bought from Cadence I am impressed by the thought and design behind the products and the inclusion of a double handle maks them out as a five star item.

I bought the 3000 as I own a 4000 model which I really like , both reels so strong , balanced and smooth clutch , used my 3000 with my cadence 11’ # 2 For the 1st time catching carp to 9lb on .12 hook lengths both performed excellent , quality product
I recently bought a CS10 3000 after quite a bit of research. (I originally intended buying a well known reel at twice the price). I've fished with it a couple of times now and love it. It's light, beautifully made and incredibly smooth. I particularly like the shallow spool (no more faffing around with backing line), retrieval rate and sensitive drag. It's just the perfect reel on my 9ft feeder rod and I am about to buy at least one CS10 4000 for other rods. Given all the features, the build quality, the spare spools, double handle option I think this reel is the best value out there.
Just bought a CS10 reel to go with a cadence 10ft feeder rod. Quality is as expected having read lots of positve reviews. Was also encouraged to buy because of the excellent customer service I received from James in replacing FOC a part on a CS8 reel I'd purchased several years ago.
