Quick take
Compact spinning reel with fully enclosed construction and stainless bearings for freshwater and saltwater.
The Handing M1 Pro in size 2000 is a small spinning reel built for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Its body is fully sealed with waterproof seal rings, and its bearings are rust resistant. The drag is rated to 33 pounds and runs on a triple-disc carbon fiber washer stack. A 9+1 bearing system and a 5.2:1 gear ratio give it a smooth, steady retrieve. The M1 Pro is sold from size 2000 through 5000, so this is the smallest size in that range.
