Lightweight 3000-size graphite spinning reel with salt protection and air rotor system for smooth retrieve.
This size 3000 spinning reel pairs a graphite body with a 5.1:1 gear ratio and a 4+1 bearing setup. It comes with a spare spool and a soft carry bag, and the seals are meant to limit saltwater ingress, so it suits both freshwater and light inshore outings. The handle is ambidextrous, and the reel weighs about 0.27 kg, which keeps it easy to pack for travel fishing.
