Overview
Lew's lists the CTS50 as a graphite spinning reel in Crappie Thunder Green. A skeletal rotor and a two bearing system are named in the special field, and the reel is a single piece.
The reason to consider it is a very light reel with a tuned look for crappie fishing. The limits are the missing drag rating, gear ratio and capacity. Anglers matching it to light line should find those figures before buying.
Who it's for
A panfish or crappie angler fishing light rigs who values a low weight reel. Buyers who compare gear ratios and drag power will not find them in the listing.
Pros and cons
- Very light graphite body
- Skeletal rotor listed
- Two bearing system named
- Crappie themed color
- Drag rating missing
- Gear ratio not given
- Line capacity not listed
Performance notes
A skeletal rotor removes material to cut weight, and graphite adds low mass without much flex. The two bearing system sets smoothness, though bearing quality is not described. Real results depend on drag, which is not stated.
