Quick take
A light-weight 2500-size spinning reel with carbon housing and smooth 5.3:1 retrieve rate.
The Daiwa Exceler LT EXLT2500D is a size 2500 spinning reel with a 5.3:1 gear ratio and a carbon-based housing that keeps it to about 0.7 pounds. A machined aluminum handle, an Air Rotor and Air Bail, and six bearings (five ball, one roller) aim for a smooth retrieve. It carries 210 yards of 10 lb mono and tops out at 22 pounds of drag, a fit for light to medium spinning gear.
