Quick take
A lightweight spinning reel with graphite construction and 7 bearings for smooth light-tackle casting.
The Laser Lite in size 75 is a light spinning reel with a graphite frame and sideplate, a skeletal graphite rotor and a braid-ready aluminum spool. It has a 5.0:1 gear ratio that brings in about 22 inches of line per turn, and a multi-disc drag that tops out at 6.6 pounds. A folding handle swaps to either side, which suits anglers working small lakes, ponds and creeks for panfish, trout and bass.
Best for
- Trout fishing on small streams and ponds

Strengths
