Lightweight, compact and built for smooth performance, the TICA Cetus LF500 spinning reel is an excellent match for anglers targeting trout, crappie, bluegill and other panfish. Its 500-size profile makes it especially well suited to ultralight freshwater setups and ice fishing rods, delivering responsive line control without unnecessary bulk.

The LF500 features a 5.2:1 gear ratio, two precision stainless-steel ball bearings and a one-way clutch roller bearing for instant anti-reverse. A computer-balanced rotor supports smooth retrieves, while the aluminum-alloy spool, solid aluminum bail wire and soft-touch handle knob combine durability with comfortable operation. The handle can be configured for either right- or left-hand retrieval.
