A lot is going to depend on your personal preferences, star drag or level drag, traditional conventional or low profile.

On the low profile side I think Revo and Lexa get the nod. Pricey but a lot of drag for their weight and they balance nice on a light rod. Just picked up a Revo so I have no first hand experience other then fishing for a bit with some friends.

Traditional conventional Avet SX or SXJ are nice and light as well. I have several and they are tanks, easy to maintain but not as much drag as the low profiles mentioned above. If you are not used to casting a convention then go with the MC cast models.

As mentioned above, put it on the rod and see which balances the best. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these choices.

BTW.... Welcome to our community.... Lots of great knowledgeable people here.
