Is there a Stradic 1000 in Japan?
No. The smallest Stradic sizes in Shimano Japan's table are the C2000S and C2000SHG. The next size number up is 2500 (C2500S, C2500SXG, 2500S and 2500SHG).
Smallest JDM Stradic sizes vs US ST1000HGFM
Japanese values are as printed in Shimano Japan's table; US values are as printed in Shimano North America's table. Line capacity is printed in different units (Japan: gō or lb × metres; US: lb × yards), so we show both as printed and do not convert. The US table does not print spool or handle size, so those cells are marked Not confirmed.

Is there a US Stradic 1000, and is it the same reel?
Shimano North America's STRADIC FM table (checked 2026-10-08) lists ST1000HGFM, size code 1000HG (6.5 oz, 6:1, 7 lb max drag). Its size code is not the same as any Japanese size, so we do not treat them as the same reel.
