Quick take
A lightweight spinning reel with magnesium construction that balances smooth performance with strong drag power.
The Cadence Vigor 2000 is a size 2000 spinning reel with a magnesium frame and an aluminum handle that can be set up for either hand. It runs nine stainless steel bearings and a 6.2:1 gear ratio, with a 20 lb maximum drag. It spools braided or monofilament line, which suits freshwater anglers who want a light everyday spinning reel for bass, panfish and similar species.
