Its hard to find an inexpensive lightweight reel. I really like my SA
System 1 456. It supposedly weighs in at 3.9 oz..

$44 here (and free shipping IIRC):

g.c.

Another pretty good one, IMO, is the Okuma Sierra reel. I have a couple
of them and really like them. The drag took some getting the hang of. It
is really sensitive. Once I learned to make very fine adjustments that
was not a problem anymore. I know a roffian once mentioned that with a
lot of fishing they seemed to wear out quickly. Unfortunately, that is
not a problem I have encountered.

I paid $30.00 for mine at my local Sportsman's Warehouse. The price
seems to be a bit higher on places I found on the web.
