What is your price limit?
What style of reel do you want?
I can answer your question, but I am not up to date with low profile reels. I fish with Ambassadeurs.
A 2500 or 3500 will work, but those reels have been discontinued. Which means even if you find a nice one on EBay, the simple replacement parts are not available new.
A 4500 or 4600 will work. You can still buy a 4600 new. My advice is to confirm the reel has a six brake block system. A lot of the 4500/4600 had speed blocks and that makes it more challenging to throw the 1/8 weights.
I have a 4500CS Pro Rocket and 5500CS that have each have 8 sets of bearings and will throw a 1/8 RoadRunner with a plastic. However, I have to be more selective in rod choice and line. These reels are also off limits to my three boys. LOL

Daiwa SOL or ALPHAS is what I use for light line for 1/16 to 3/16 jigheads and finess worms. They are fairly old reels, about 10 years ago was the last time I bought one and I have three that all do the job.
I try to use spinning reels for that light of line most of the time but when pitching them I can control it better with a baitcaster.
