Quick take
A size 1000 spinning reel with 10 ball bearings and hollow frame design for lightweight long fishing.
This is a size 1000 spinning reel from Diwa with a 5.1:1 gear ratio and 10 stainless steel ball bearings. It weighs 205 grams, uses an aluminum spool and has a foldable handle that switches between left and right hand retrieve. It suits light freshwater work such as trout and panfish with monofilament, and the 8 pound max drag keeps it in the small-reel class.
Best for
