This is the Abu Garcia Ike Signature spinning reel in size 2500, developed with Mike Iaconelli for bass-style finesse and general freshwater work. It has an aluminum frame, a 6.2:1 gear ratio that picks up about 31 inches of line per crank, and a carbon matrix drag topping out at 14 pounds. The spool takes braid or mono, and the handle can be set for either hand.
