I might have to do that if she doesn’t like the baitcaster idea.

The ‘baitcaster-for-crappie’ just showed up. A nice blue color. The wife liked the color and claimed the reel. And, I ordered some 10# braid for one of her other reels. We’ll see what wins.
Thanks, Jim Sr for the braid suggestion. I wouldn’t have thought of it, though I hate to admit it.

Check on eBay for a vintage Japan made Ryobi V-Mag3 reel. The prices range from $25-$125 but they are great for what you are wanting. I have 3 set up with different weight mono 4, 6, 10 on short 5 ft rods to use in the pay fishing docks near me for crappie fishing. Very light weight, smooth but tough enough for the bigger fish that swim through occasionally.

Check into ice fishing reels. they have a wide variety. I have even seen one that just had 2 posts you looped the line around for storage. Wally Marshall has a solo reel that resembles a fly reel. Lotd of options. Good luck
