2026 RS 500

The RS 500 spinning reel gives anglers the wallet friendly ultralight reel they’ve been looking for. Perfect for everything from trout to panfish, the RS 500 features light yet rigid aluminum spool, a solid aluminum folding handle for compact storage, a light and durable composite and rotor.

Its overall feel is enhanced through Daiwa’s Infinite Anti-Reverse which provides quick engagement of the drive gear and drag system. Finished with 3 stainless steel ball bearing and 1 anti-reverse roller bearing, the RS 500 is ready to tackle the small creeks, rivers, and ponds where featherweight lunkers call home.
