Conventional reels... I need something that I can put lighter line on. Less than 12lbs. I like to fish spotties and flatties
I have a Newell 229 with 12lbs, and a SHIMANO CORSAIR 401A with 12lbs I am looking for and round baitcasting reel

For light line my favorite reel on the market is the Daiwa Coastal. Super smooth, low maintenance (Ive oiled mine 2 times in 3 years and they are still super smooth), wet drags, and really light.

Daiwa Sealine-X Sha 20 is around $110. I have this one with 10 pound Pline.
It casts like an expensive reel.

Instead of the Sealine reels I would go with the new Saltist 20h. Bought it last week and just fished it yesterday and it is well worth the additional $30 dollars as compared to the Sealine. It can cast a mile and has really good drags. The large calico did not stand a chance yesterday
 . I also have several sealines, penn's and newells but the Saltist is the choice at around $139. Good luck.
