Quick take
A compact 148 g baitcasting reel with 10+1 bearings and 6.2:1 ratio, designed for light tackle trout and bass.
The Abu Garcia Zenon 2500SH is a compact spinning reel built around a lightweight body of about 5 ounces. It runs a 6.2:1 gear ratio, a 10-ball-bearing and 1-roller-bearing setup and a maximum drag of 11 pounds. That mix suits anglers working light lures for trout, black bass and sea bass who want a reel that stays easy to hold through a long day.
