What is the difference from the 8000 and the 1000 real. The lbs is the same on all when you click on the number.

Mike - an 8000 size spinning reel is a very large reel and has a large line capacity. The larger reels (6000 - 8000 size) are designed to fight large fish, plus with the added line capacity you can fish in depths of 100' to 200' and still have plenty of line should a large fish start 'stripping' line as they make their run. The larger reels have drag systems designed to withstand more line stripping should you hook up on a large fish. A 1000 size reel is a very small reel with minimal line capacity. You would select a 1000 size reel if you're fishing for smaller species of fish, although some anglers have the skills to catch sizable fish using 1000 and 1500 sized reels.

When the spool is rised up the bail gets stuck over it. Is that normal or is it a defect?

Not sure what you mean about the bail getting stuck over the spool. Is your bail open or closed and how does it get stuck? I ordered 2 and one of them had a spot right when the spool would reach the top while reeling it would stick a little. I decided not try and swap it out due to limited time. They both handled a heavy week of mackeral, amberjack, and shark without flaw. They were running 90lb braid and 5ft, heavy rods. I do recommend a good break down and cleaning of the internals after any extensive saltwater use.

How many ball bearings does it have

Silvestre, This is another example of incomplete listings on amazon. Our site has a full clear description and specs.The Penn BattleII that we have on the shelf have 6 total stainless steel ball bearings, 6.2 ratio and 260yd of 20lb line capacity, and the in store special price is far less then our amazon listing. If you have any more questions about the product or price please call us at 360-755-0665.Ron SchmidtValley Sports and More360-755-0665

Is the reel right or left handed

Sorry, the reels can be changed to right or left handed. I didn't realize the threads are reversed on one side. Please remove my comment that the reel is only right handed
