Quick take
A 2500-size compact spinning reel with a 6.2:1 gear ratio, designed for light freshwater fishing with finesse lures and natural bait.
This Shimano Nasky is a size 2500SHG spinning reel with a 6.2 gear ratio, so each turn of the handle brings in about 3.6 inches of line. It has a shallow spool, a 2.2 inch handle and five ball bearings plus a roller bearing, with up to 4 kg of maximum drag. The body and rotor are resin, which keeps it light for finesse work on bass, trout and panfish.
