Quick take
A lightweight 2500-size spinning reel with a 6.2:1 gear ratio for balanced retrieves and light lures.
The Daiwa Rubius LT in the LT2500S-XH size is a compact spinning reel with a 6.2 gear ratio, so each turn of the handle brings in about 34 inches of line. It weighs roughly 5.5 ounces and has a lightweight build with an aluminum handle. It suits anglers who fish light mono or braid and want a quick retrieve on a small spinning outfit.
