Quick take
A lightweight 2500-size Ballistic reel with a 6.2:1 gear ratio and LT-concept design for reduced weight.
The Daiwa 19 Ballistic LT in the 2500SS-CXH version is a size 2500 spinning reel built around a light 165 gram body. It pairs a 6.2:1 gear ratio with 87 cm of line pulled in per turn of the handle and a 5 lb max drag. Seven ball bearings plus one roller smooth the retrieve, and the handle can be set up for either hand. It suits anglers working light saltwater and finesse setups with thin mono or braid.
