Many years ago, about 35, I had a small reel called an Ambassador 2500, as I remember. With it spooled with 6 pound Royal Bonnyl line, on a 6 ft light action pistol grip rod, I could easily put a 1/8 oz jig or inline spinner where I wanted.
Does anyone make a baitcast reel today that is light line, light lure friendly. I have only tried a SHIMANO C-50, and it would backlash set up with 8# line. I cannot use a spnning reel because of physical conditions/arthritis and I keep wearing line grooves in the rotor of spincast reels.
Any help/experience appreciated.
