Why Buy Ex-Display?
Ex-display stock is typically used for showroom demonstration or was part of a discontinued end-of-line run. It has been handled by staff and customers, so the box may show scuffs or have price labels attached. However, the reel itself has not been used for fishing and functions exactly like a new unit. Buying ex-display allows you to own a high-quality item for a fraction of the original retail price. Always check that the reel feels smooth when turning the handle and that the drag operates correctly before using it.
The Favorite U1 2500S is a compact 2500-size spinning reel built for lure fishing, spinning, and light rock fishing. It handles soft PE braids well thanks to its quality gearing, and the screw-in handle design reduces backlash for a more reliable retrieve. With a 5.1:1 ratio and 70 cm of line picked up per turn, it offers a balanced speed for working lures for species such as bass, perch, pike, pollock, and zander.
