small bait baitcast reel

My budget is normally 200-300 bucks for a reel. I am looking for a reel to throw tiny finesse stuff on 8 or 10# line. Want to be able to launch 1/4 oz baits - any reels come to mind for this purpose?

Shimano 50mg works great

Daiwa Tatula CT is a great choice as well.

Shimano Curado 70

Definitely this reel right here. I just got one last week for small finesse jigs and little paddle tails and man this reel rocks. It's specifically designed for finesse baits and light line. Super smooth retrieve, good drag system, and it's lightweight. I know you'll be happy with it.

Shimano Scorpion 1000 or 1001 for lefties

I have a Shimano chronarch 51E for this exact purpose. 4-6 lb braid or 8lb mono is what I use with it on a 6'6 med. Great setup for 1/16 -1/4 oz baits. I drop shot with it too sometimes.

Shimano Calcutta 50 awesome really for small stuff!

Daiwa zillion tws sv

Shimano Aldebaran 50

I got a Diawa Pixy last year on EBay for $250 new. Not cheap but WAY cheaper than retail. I'm not much of a finesse fisherman but this thing will cast a bare hook!

This you can find them cheaper from Japan.

This has actually dropped in price since the last time I checked!

Get one of those Frozen setups, let me know how that works for ya...

+100!!

I'm more of a Spider Man guy myself..

Diawa Alphas all day.

Agree with this. I bought one earlier this summer and it throws weightless senkos easily. Great reel.

13 Fishing concept KP hands down the best reel I've ever owned. I just bought 5 more.

Pixy Tyoe R. The best light lure casting reel ever made.

Love this reel. Super happy with them. Need to pick up a couple more.
