Slate Spinning Reel 2500 5.2:1
The 13 Fishing Slate Spinning Reel gives anglers smooth control, steady drag pressure, and dependable retrieve power for bass, walleye, trout, panfish, and light inshore fishing. A 7 stainless steel ball bearing plus 1AR bearing system keeps the reel turning cleanly through finesse presentations, jigging, drop shotting, ned rigs, swimbaits, and live bait tactics, while the 5.2:1 gear ratio offers a balanced retrieve for working lures with control. CNC Z-cast gearing and a brass pinion provide reliable gear engagement, and the cast iron carbon frame, rotor, and handle help maintain a solid feel without weighing down your setup. A high-performance fiber drag with polished stainless steel washers manages surging fish, the hard anodized aluminum line roller supports smooth line handling, and the soft-touch rubber knob gives anglers a comfortable grip. Finished with a ported two-tone aluminum spool, the Slate brings clean function and confident performance to everyday spinning applications.
