Seems like a legit discount, $260 everywhere else I can find. No experience with this reel personally.

ETA: It looks like there are 2 different versions of this available, seemingly 2 different gear ratios based on an old SD thread, and there isn't any way to know which is which.

6.2:1 and 7.0:1 - coin toss

high end reel. good for saltwater and in situations you don't need a zillion yards of line. I use it for coastal cutthroat and sometime rock fish. Great price. Anout $100 off.

yeah strange that dont provide more details - only way to tell a difference is from their internal item#.

great price but wish they had other sizes on sale. 2500 size for this reel seems small for what this reel can do vs how heavy slammers tend to be. but i'm sure there are use cases or specific fish / types of fishing that this reel makes sense for...

Sierra almost always has a photo of the actual item in listing
For this that means both listings have a photo that shows 7.0:1 so are most likely both identical reels.
They list one, two, five... Of a model (likely if you look at shoes you'll see what I mean now) with different item numbers depending on batches of product where and what time it came from/in.
An example would be multiple rods that all are listed exactly the same but if you're lucky and can see a model number in the photos you'll be able to tell different actions or weights a listing is for.
They seem to have gotten better about this from a few years ago.

My biggest issue is there is frequently a reason things like reels, bows, crossbows, are left over like for reels - likely to have not the smoothest example to a really bad example and Sierra is harder than ever to deal with returns due to such a problem.

This is a really good deal but I certainly dont need more reels and will wait for basspro/walmart/Amazon... To have this level of sale (possibly better) again

I can confirm it's the 7.0:1 as I purchased this from them about a week and a half ago. Seems like only one left in stock. Better move quick!

Looks like it's still in stock via this listing:

Pics do show the high speed / 7 gear ratio.

I haven't received the 2500 yet but I have a 3500 and 5500. Plenty of drag and the reels feel solid and well built, however, they weigh significantly more than a similar size Shimano. If weight is the biggest concern for an ultralight setup I'd probably opt for something else.

Edit: the below appears to be irrelevant now as sierra is again using different part numbers for these reels than last time.

For anyone questioning the sierra part numbers and what gear ratio it means.

Last time around, I ordered the 5PXWG one and I got the high speed gear ratio one.

I found nothing to link the sierra part numbers to the actual reels, so these PN seem to be specific for sierra.

Yes it's a 2500 reel, but as long as the line capacity works for you this thing is a beast.

I regularly use 2500 sized reels to catch monster sheepshead, stripers, blues, fluke, etc. but it is also light enough to use for most of your freshwater species.

Pair it with the right rod and it's an awesome lightweight combo.

It will work, but will be overkill for UL. For a 2500 sized reels, it is still pretty heavy.

It would be fine for FW bass fishing, but I wouldn't go with this reel for like a PTC (panfish, trout, crappie) UL combo. If that's what you are thinking off, I think you can save some money and go with something else. Don't get me wrong, it's a great reel, but I wouldn't build a UL combo specifically around this reel.
