Quick take
A 1500-size spinning reel with 4.7:1 gear ratio and 2kg max drag, sized for small finesse presentations.
This is the 2017 Daiwa World Spin, a size 1500 spinning reel built for light-line work on trout, black bass and small saltwater fish like mackerel and sardines. It weighs about 8.1 oz and comes spooled with 2 lb monofilament. The right-hand handle and compact 1500 body suit anglers who want a simple, light spinning setup.
