Shimano Navi 1000R

I saw this new old reel at my fav tackle shop. The price sticker has turned yellow, guess it was there from the 90’s. It felt good, solid and heavy. Also like the ol’ skool look.

I would like to have some views on this reel before buying it. Is it braid friendly? Also there are shimano holiday spin on display. Might check it out as well.
