Overview

A 2500-size spinning reel from Daiwa built with a metal body, weighing 8.8 ounces, described by the maker as lightweight for its class.

The 2500 size sits in the middle of typical spinning reel sizing, generally paired with light to medium tackle, and the metal construction is worth noting since some reels in this weight class use composite bodies instead.
