Baitcaster reel

I have the ugly stick (8`6" )deluxe spinning rod that I use with a fixed
spool reel.
Due to its ringing, eight small rings, with the 20mm butt ring around 15"
from the reel I think it would would work better with a multiplier.
I used one of these some time ago and as I got used to it, I really enjoyed
it.
I do not go in for that type of long range beachcasting these days, in fact
I have got rid of my beachcaster.
I am looking at one of the small baitcaster reels. Can anyone advise as to
what sort of "minimum" weight it would cast. I appreciate that the
heavier lure would probobly work better with this type of reel.

The reel I am looking at is the Shakespeare Alpha 200 baitcaster, holds
190mts of 8lb mono, more than I will ever need but it is the smallest in the
range.

I used to use an ABU 5500 and it would cast a 28 gm krill miles.

Have a look at the US sites, Cabelas and Bass Pro for an idea of what is
available.

How do these baitcaster reels work with the lighter lures 7 to 15 gms? is
there enough weight to get the spooll moving.?
I am seriously thinking of removing the butt ring from the rod and using it
with a fixed spool.
The next ring although 12mm in diam is 30inches from the reel seat about
average for a fixed spool setup.
