Quick take
A versatile spinning reel with 12 bearings and braid-ready spool for freshwater and light saltwater.
This is a size 5000 spinning reel with a 5.5:1 gear ratio, 12 stainless steel ball bearings plus one, and a stainless steel handle that works for left or right hand retrieves. It tops out at 19.9 pounds of drag and weighs 332 grams, so it suits anglers who want a larger spinning reel for bass, walleye and inshore species. The spool has a rubber band to keep braided line from slipping on the first wraps.
