Quick take
A size 150 left-handle conventional reel for saltwater jigging with a smooth 7.1 gear ratio.
The Daiwa 21 Tierra A IC 150 is a compact baitcasting reel with a 7.1 gear ratio and about 80 cm of line pulled in per handle turn. It weighs 7.9 oz and carries a 6-ball, 1-roller bearing set with a 2.8 inch handle and a maximum drag of 5 kg. It spools braided line, with room for roughly 400 m of PE 1 or 200 m of PE 2, which suits anglers who want a light, fast-retrieve reel for jigging-style work.
