I have small hands and always looking and trying new rods and reels to find the perfect match so far the h20 xpress motive and curado 70 are the smallest and I like and the cabela zx rods and diawa rods seem to have lower reel seats to help get it small in hand. Anybody else know of or have held smaller reels and have the same problem i do with small hands , I just like the feel and control I have when fits rigjt in my palm !! Thanks
